ATP Finals
Sinner leaves nothing to chance against De Minaur
For top favorite Jannik Sinner, the 15.25 million dollar ATP Finals in Turin have started as planned. The world number one tennis player from South Tyrol came out on top in his duel with Australian Alex de Minaur on Sunday, winning 6:3, 6:4.
De Minaur started his ATP Finals debut well, taking his opponent's serve at 2:1. However, that was a wake-up call for Sinner, who responded with two breaks and two service games, much to the delight of the home crowd, and pulled away to 5:2. The 23-year-old did not let this advantage slip away. In the second set, Sinner's only break to make it 3:2 was decisive. De Minaur was no match for the Italian's more powerful game, who converted his first match point after 1:24 hours.
"I can't wait to play again"
It was Sinner's first appearance since winning the title at the Masters 1000 event in Shanghai on October 13. "I'm very happy about the win because of the long break," said Sinner in the winner's interview on court. At the beginning, he made life difficult for himself with unforced errors. "But then I found my level. I'm very happy, hopefully the win will give me a lot of confidence for the next few matches." The crowd played a not insignificant role for him. "I felt the energy from the stands, it was a great evening, I can't wait to play again."
