Italian thrills home crowd with domination over de Minaur as he bids to end season on a high

Jannik Sinner continued his mastery over Alex de Minaur on Nov 15 with a straight-set win to reach the ATP Finals decider for the third year in a row.

The Italian broke late in the first set and then pulled away from the Australian to complete a 7-5, 6-2 win in Turin - his 13th in as many meetings with his opponent.

“First of all, I am very happy. It is the last event of the year and it’s great to finish this way. Making three consecutive finals in Turin means a lot to me.

“It is a great atmosphere for me to play tennis and a great place for me to close this beautiful season. Tomorrow, I will enjoy and try my best to get the best possible result,” he said.
