The Italian was roared to a 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 victory by supporters in Turin, who watched their idol cap a landmark season in which he became the first of his countrymen to win Wimbledon.
“It’s (an) amazing season... This year making four Grand Slam finals, coming here, winning here, having this big streak in end of the year, it’s amazing,” Sinner told reporters.
“But mostly I feel to be a better player than last year, I think this is the most important. It’s all part of the process. I always say and believe that if you keep working and trying to be a better player, the results, they’re going to come. This year it was like this.”
