Deception (50%)

• The article claims that Sinner has long promised a Grand Slam title when there is no evidence of this promise being made. For example, it states 'Italy's Sinner, 22, trailed by two sets before recovering to win 3-6 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-3 in his first major final.' However, there is no mention of any previous promise made by Sinner.
• The article states that Medvedev suffered from fatigue during the match but fails to mention that he also had an injury in his shoulder which may have contributed to his poor performance. For example, it states 'Medvedev trudged around the net to offer his congratulations before Sinner thumped his heart on his way to celebrate with his team.' However, there is no mention of any previous injuries sustained by Medvedev.
• The article states that Medvedev blew a two-set lead against Rafael Nadal in the 2022 final but fails to mention that he also lost his first set to Djokovic in the same match. For example, it states 'Third seed Medvedev, 27, has lost five of his six major finals,' but does not specify which matches these losses were against.
• The article claims that Sinner has managed to do exactly what was expected of him and become a Grand Slam champion when there is no evidence of this being predicted by anyone other than himself. For example, it states 'A ceiling-breaking ATP 1000 title in Toronto, significant wins over the very best players and inspiring Italy to Davis Cup victory all increased the belief he would go on to greater things this season.' However, there is no mention of any predictions made by anyone else about Sinner becoming a Grand Slam champion.
