# Tennis: World number one Jannik Sinner moved to within two games of the Italian Open final before heavy rain suspended his semi-final against Daniil Medvedev yesterday, with the home favourite leading 6-2, 5-7, 4-2. Play was then halted with rain pouring down in Rome and organisers later announced the match would resume today. Sinner is chasing a sixth consecutive Masters One-thousand title. The winner will face Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final after the Norwegian cruised to a dominant 6-1 6-1 victory over Italy’s Luciano Darderi.
