On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz finished at the top of the Red Group after securing a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Daniil Medvedev. In the upcoming semifinals, Sinner will face off against Daniil Medvedev, while Djokovic will go head-to-head with Alcaraz.

After seeing the semifinal lineup, Patrick McEnroe took to social media and predicted that the World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and home crowd favorite Jannik Sinner would go up against each other in the final of the tournament.
