He studies current form, players' tendencies on a particular surface, weather conditions and many other relevant factors. That systematic approach has helped Onorato go 128-90-7 -- up 69.25 units -- since 2022.

Onorato knows Sinner has a ton of confidence after beating Djokovic, a 10-time Australian Open champion. It was Sinner's third victory in four head-to-head meetings since a loss to Djokovic in last year's Wimbledon semifinals. The Italian will be facing an opponent who could be fatigued, as the semifinal match with Zverev started after Sinner's victory and last more than four hours.

Medvedev is seeking his second Grand Slam title to go with his 2021 U.S. Open, and this is sixth final appearance overall.
