When Tennis Gets PERSONAL ● Sinner & Rune Heated Night Battle

Channeling his inner Daniel Medvedev here. You don't help with that. We don't help doing that. Just play. No help. It's long. Yeah, Sinner just saying to Banadas that's twice now that Roona is... Did he hit him on that occasion? I think he might have. Just have a look at this. Point obviously over. Roona still hits the forehand and Sinner having to duck for cover. To keep calm because you... I did like this. I know, I know. But I just look at you to keep the same calm. I'm trying to hit in the court and I go exactly the same but he makes no reaction. Sinner, good hands there. It's a huge return and then arguably an even bigger forehand to follow. That's nicely done again from Yannick Sinner. But hit it. It's the most important thing. Either of these two are going to struggle doing that. Exactly, I was going to say. First double fault for Holger Roona. That is an outrageous volley from Roona. He made it look very easy. That one's long as well and again it's not just how much he's missing but how big he's missing as well. Yannick Sinner. I think Holger wants to stop because of the rain and you just heard Carlos Bernal is in the background there just saying, come on, let's just finish the point. But not to say that Sinner is going to win this point. Well, as the rain begins to fall here in Monte Carlo, Yannick Sinner is a set away from another Masters 1000 final. Very impressive so far. Well done, Holger Roona, a big hold. Oh no, he's knocked it long. Another chance for Roona. And that's away. And Holger Roona eventually does take. That was clever. It's a rock solid point from both and it was Sinner the one who just changed it up, dragging Roona. Oh, it's long. It was the right player thing from Sinner to go to the drop shot. He was just very heavy handed. That's nicely done. That's good from Sinner. Great width with the approach and no hesitation. A set by no means done with. Yannick Sinner right back in this second set. Eight points in a row for the Italian. That wasn't necessary. Almost hit Sinner there. It's too good from Yannick Sinner. Right at the start of that point. He really had to keep his concentration with the net called and then the next one from Roona was off the baseline. Some of the crowd was shouting out thinking the point was won. He did that a nice cheap point. Channeling his inner Daniel Medvedev here. He shouldn't be doing at this point of the match. I know it's hard when people are against you. It's not going to help him. Some people thrive in this kind of atmosphere. You see Daniel Medvedev sometimes when he gets the crowd going actually brings out his best tennis. Is it going to have? Played a few pretty good points. Keeps going Roona. That's some reaction from Holger Roona. After whining the crowd. That's very good from Roona. Positive aggressive start. Great hands from Sinner. Very good. It's brilliant. A clever little forehand that he hit in defense there. Super tennis on the front foot. Taking the attack to... That's well done. Again the drop shot working for Roona. Going to it more and more now. First ace of the match. What a time to find it. Oh my words. He made up his mind pretty early there Roona. He has made it. Immediate apology from Roona. Very lucky there Sinner. Big time holds from Yannick Sinner. That's good from Sinner. That's the kind of tennis you want to watch him play. What a combination. Big kicker. Good return there Sinner but Roona dealt with it. Welcome, comfortable service hold for Yannick Sinner. Half a chance again there Roona. Sinner just stood his ground. Goodness. One can believe that he's found the pass. An absolutely outrageous bit of skill. Some response providing it has caught the line. Which I think it has. Not on the head from Sinner. Okay so Roona stays ahead. Didn't let that... Injection of pace on that forehand. It's long. Sinner just saying to Banadas that's twice now that Roona is... Did he hit him on that occasion? I think he might have. Just have a look at this. Point obviously over. Roona still hits the forehand. Sinner having to duck for cover. It happened earlier in the match as well. Now it's Sinner's turn to become the conductor of this orchestra. What an atmosphere it is out here. Somehow Yannick Sinner is still on serve in this deciding set. Very nicely done. It's a skill in itself isn't it? He's feeling pretty good isn't he out there. 190. Like this out. I don't know. He didn't miss a forehand. I'm normally hitting the ball. Sorry I hit in the middle. Don't look at me like that when you did. No, no, no. It was a mistake and I said sorry. It was not intentional. I know it was not intentional. And then I look at you to keep calm because you... I did like this. I know, I know. But I just look at you to keep the things calm. I'm trying to hit in the court and I go exactly the same but he makes no reaction. So it's like... I didn't say anything to you. If I say something to you then... Okay? Missed it. It's just wide. How much cold. It's a gutsy play from Sinner to go up the line in that moment. One of the poorer drop shots that he's hit today, Rune. But it doesn't matter. Rune has only played 28. Saved. Two of... Saved, sorry. I'll be so annoyed at that. Punches his thigh, Yannick Sinner. How has Sinner won that point? Quick hand step from Sinner at the net. He's not sure. Yeah, it's in. Great hands from Rune. Very difficult volley there. Holger Rune into his second Masters 1000 final. What a match it was between these two. It had everything.
