Sinner's memorable year, which began with victory at the Australian Open, ended on a historic note. The home favourite looked almost flawless in the 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Fritz.

The 23-year-old Italian looked at his best in all dimensions of the game throughout the contest. However, his serve proved to be a lethal weapon, from which he won 83 per cent (33/40) of points, according to Infosys ATP Stats.

With his Tour-leading 70th win of the season, Sinner has joined the iconic duo Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as the only men players to win the Australian Open, US Open and Nitto ATP Finals in the same season. Sinner also became the first player born in the 2000s to lift the trophy at the season finale.
