Jannik Sinner is one step closer to claiming his first ATP Finals crown after a dominant 6-1, 6-2 win over Casper Ruud in the semifinals. The Italian tennis sensation has been on a roll, extending his winning streak to 10 matches with this impressive display. Sinner’s performance was nothing short of breathtaking, as he barely gave Ruud time to breathe, rattling off the first three games and taking the first set in just half an hour.
Sinner’s remarkable season has seen him displace Novak Djokovic at the top of the ATP rankings, winning seven tournaments, including his first Grand Slam victories at the Australian and US Opens . He will face Taylor Fritz in the title decider, who defeated Alexander Zverev 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7/3) in a thrilling semifinal match.
Fritz has a chance to avenge his US Open final defeat to Sinner, but it won’t be an easy task. Sinner has beaten Fritz twice this year, including a straight-sets victory in the group stage in Turin . Despite this, Fritz is determined to make the most of his opportunity, saying that saving three break points in the third set was a crucial turning point in his match against Zverev .
