Turin, Italy, and a bluish atmosphere on an indoor court are the perfect elements for Jannik Sinner to bring out the best in himself and freeze his opponents. Today's victim was Alex De Minaur, making his debut in the ATP Finals for the first time in his career. The Italian quickly responded to the first break by the Australian and made it clear that he is in Turin to win the title. He won 6-3 6-4 in 84 minutes of play.
The event that concludes the men's season is here, where the top eight players of the year come together to determine the best. Jannik Sinner arrives at the ATP Finals 2024 with a goal of claiming the title he narrowly missed in the last edition, as Novak Djokovic decisively took it from him in the final. With two Grand Slams and three Masters 1000 titles this season, the Italian is more prepared than ever.
- Quick reaction
The match started comfortably for Sinner with a perfect first service game, but in the second, he faced a slight setback when he got broken. He didn't lose focus and quickly recovered the break in the next game, leaving De Minaur helpless, as the Aussie went from leading 2-1 with serve to losing the set 3-6, courtesy of a great display of tennis by the Italian, who didn't flinch at any point.
- Sublime second set
If Jannik Sinner's first set was nearly flawless, the second was even better. Sinner broke De Minaur's serve in a game briefly interrupted by an incident with a spectator in the stands who appeared to have fainted, fortunately not distracting the players.
Sinner glided on the court sublimely, countering everything Alex tried unsuccessfully. With the Italian showcasing the level he can reach and the crowd fully engaged, he cruised through without allowing De Minaur to surprise him further.
Jannik Sinner's next match will be against Taylor Fritz, while Alex de Minaur will face Daniil Medvedev, who approaches this match feeling very burned out from a demanding season. Both matches belong to the second stage of the groups at the ATP Finals 2024.
