Daniil Medvedev's victory dance following his win over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the 2023 Italian Open semifinal has sparked some amused reactions from tennis fans.Medvedev overcame a lengthy rain delay on Saturday to defeat Tsitsipas 7-5, 7-5 and advance to his first claycourt final since the Barcelona Open in 2019. The Russian was clinical in the match, converting each of his four break points and striking down 18 winners to notch up his eighth victory over Tsitsipas.Medvedev celebrated his win with a hilarious victory dance, seemingly mocking the Greek's victory dance from their clash in the 2022 Cincinnati Open semifinal.Tennis TV@TennisTVCincinnati 2022: Tsitsipas beats Medvedev and does a victory danceRome 2023: Medvedev beats Tsitsipas and… 🤣#IBI @DaniilMedwed6083891Cincinnati 2022: Tsitsipas beats Medvedev and does a victory danceRome 2023: Medvedev beats Tsitsipas and… 🤣💀#IBI @DaniilMedwed https://t.co/rcRardsD7XSeveral fans were entertained by the pair continuing their historically contentious rivalry on tour."The absolute schoolyard contempt Medvedev and Tsitsipas have for each other is glorious.

How do you choose?"It's like being in the club completely drunk" - Daniil Medvedev on his victory dance following Italian Open SF victory over Stefanos TsitsipasDaniil Medvedev through to the Italian Open finalDaniil Medvedev jokingly compared his victory dance to being "completely drunk" in a club, where one feels like the "God of the dance floor." Medvedev said in his post-match interview:"I did it once in the US Open, that was famous. I like the gif so let's see what comes out with this one. Because when you do it, it’s like being in the club completely drunk. When you're dancing and I have a lot of friends like this, you feel like you’re the God of the dance floor."He added:"But when they show you the video, you know, it was not the thing. So I don't know how did it go but I was just happy to be in my first clay Masters final and looking forward for tomorrow."Medvedev will take on Holger Rune in the Italian Open final on Sunday, May 21. This will mark the pair's second meeting in the 2023 claycourt season; Rune defeated the Russian 6-3, 6-4 in the Monte-Carlo Masters quarterfinals.
