(Reuters) - A ruthless Jannik Sinner continued his domination of Daniil Medvedev as he powered past the defending Miami Open champion 6-1 6-2 on Friday to reach the final for the second straight year.

When Medvedev beat Sinner to claim the Miami title 12 months ago, he extended his head-to-head record over the Italian to 6-0. But since then, the second seed has enjoyed the upper hand as he has delivered the knockout blow on five successive contests, including a five-set thriller in the Australian Open final earlier this year.
