TURIN (ITALPRESS) – Jannik Sinner did not stop: he beat Alex De Minaur 7-5 6-2 after playing one hour and 52 minutes and for the third year in a row he reached the final round of the ATP Finals. On the fast track of the Inalpi Arena in Turin, the 24-year-old from South Tyrol established himself as the Australian’s bête noire: thirteenth match and thirteenth win for Sinner, who tomorrow will try to repeat last year’s success against other semi-final pit winners Carlos Alcaraz and Felix Auger-Aliassime. I’m happy to win and tomorrow will be an important day – said the Italian – you arrive at the last tournament of the year a little tired, the crowd gave me more encouragement. Playing at home is something special, tomorrow will be difficult but I’m happy to still be in the final”.
The world number 2 – who won all the last 18 sets played in Turin – continued his dream run in 2025: 57 matches won from 63 matches and the tenth final of the season for the blue team, which has so far won the Australian Open, Wimbledon, the Masters 1000 in Paris and tournaments in Beijing and Vienna and who tomorrow will have the opportunity to win the 24th title of his career. Furthermore, as mentioned, tomorrow will be his third consecutive final at a Masters tournament: the last to do so was Novak Djokovic, who played the final round of the Final for five consecutive seasons (2012-2016), winning four times (competition with Murray in 2016). Finally, for Sinner, a 30th consecutive win at indoor level (the last defeat was in the 2023 ATP Finals against Djokovic), which is close to fourth-ranked Ivan Lendl (32) and third-ranked Roger Federer (33). Way ahead of Djokovic (35) and record holder John McEnroe (47).
