Jannik Sinner denied Daniil Medvedev the first repeat title of his career with a 7-6 (7), 4-6, 6-3 victory to win the ATP event in Vienna on Sunday.

Sinner duplicated the win he earned over ATP No. 3 Medvedev in the Beijing final three weeks ago,
The Italian saved a pair of break points in the opening set here and broke in the fourth game of the final set after nine break chances.
Sinner finished victory on a second match point, winning his second match after losing six to Medvedev.
The winner has claimed 40 ATP hard court wins in a season for the first time and owns 2023 titles from Montpellier and Toronto among the 10 and counting of his career..
