Will Sinner feel the pressure of being the favourite in his first slam final?

[Spin Diesel]

It's kind of crazy. Sinner played so well throughout the tournament, only loosing that one tiebreak-set to Djokovic. Medvedev on the other hand in trouble quite a bit this AO - playing three 5-setters and a 4-setter. But: their H2H is in favour of Medvedev. Obviously the last three matches went Sinner's way - but still they were close enough.

Now we have the situation that Sinner seems to be the favourite, which is probably some extra pressure in your first slam final. Do you think, he is going to feel it? And then with Medvedev on the other side, who's pretty clutch and who really makes you win the match. This one will be interesting and really show where Sinner's at. I'm really looking forward to the match.

I think Sinner or Medvedev will win this

 

[Bartelby]

No! i doubt players think in terms of being favourite or not. It's precisely the wrong mentality.

Yes this is very worriesome. Sinner did get nervous and almost lost the semis where he should have won in straight sets. he is mentally a baby

 

[FeroBango]

Yes but it won't matter.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Nope.

 

[a10best]

No he won't.
Officially Medvedev is seeded* #3, Sinner #4
Medvedev is in his 3rd AO final, 4th slam final.
Medvedev has more pressure.
