Jannik Sinner had to work hard to reach the final of the 2025 ATP Finals. The Italian aimed to showcase his most dominant side once again, but faced Alex De Miñaur, who tried to match the intensity of such a crucial match, making it difficult for the world number two, the local idol, and the clear favorite. After 1 hour and 51 minutes, Sinner won 7-5 6-2.

Jannik Sinner and Alex De Miñaur had met 12 times in official matches, all resulting in comfortable victories for the Italian. However, twice the Aussie managed to steal a set (ATP Sofia 2020 and ATP Beijing 2025). This time, De Miñaur entered the 2025 ATP Finals semifinal more composed after gaining confidence by defeating Taylor Fritz in the group stage two days earlier.

Sinner 'disconnects' De Miñaur

The story of the match unfolded in the first set. De Miñaur started by saving his serve after a dangerous 15-40 situation and then even reached a 0-40 advantage in the following game. It seemed like Sinner might begin from a deficit, but he had not lost his service game in six consecutive matches (since the Paris Masters 2025 round of 16 against Francisco Cerúndolo) and produced strong serves to force errors from his opponent.

The 'Aussie' realized that giving it his all could provide him with some chances. This led to numerous rallies and contested points, bringing the first set to 5-5. With both players showcasing exceptional skills and De Miñaur not giving Sinner clear opportunities for quick winners, the outcome seemed unpredictable.

At 5-5, the Italian unleashed his magic to demonstrate why he has won two Grand Slams this season. Fueled by the crowd, he delivered crucial and legendary shots, breaking De Miñaur's serve for the first time in the match. The set ended 7-5 decisively in the crucial game.

Tough time for De Miñaur

De Miñaur's path appeared straightforward as he aimed to stick to a consistent plan for the rest of the match. However, he faced a determined Sinner who did not want to offer any further chances and wanted to elegantly secure his spot in the 2025 ATP Finals final. The Italian quickly broke his opponent and raced ahead to 4-0, exposing a defeated version of De Miñaur.

Nonetheless, De Miñaur did not give up. After saving a match point for Sinner to serve for 6-0, he fought to extend the match and earned a break point after a six-minute game at 4-1. What happened? Jannik Sinner aced his serve to dash any hopes of an epic comeback.

The final of the 2025 ATP Finals will take place on Sunday, November 16, pitting Jannik Sinner against the winner of the other semifinal: Carlos Alcaraz or Felix Auger Aliassime.
