SINNER OUT TO REDEEM HIMSELF

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy is trying to end an eventful season in the perfect fashion, as he returns to home soil as the huge favourite for his first ATP Finals title.

The 23-year-old arrives in Turin at the end of a sensational campaign in which he was victorious at the Australian and US Opens - his first Grand Slam triumphs - and won five more ATP titles.

He is seeking a first-ever title at the season-ending Nov 10-17 tournament and has come a long way since losing the 2023 final to Novak Djokovic, pushing on to become world No. 1 and a national hero.

Sinner is the first Italian to top the men's world rankings and ended his country's 48-year men's Grand Slam title drought, as he finished the "Race To Turin" with 10,330 points.

That total is more than 3,000 points ahead of his closest rival Alexander Zverev, highlighting just how dominant he has been in 2024.

"Many things make (this tournament) special," Sinner said on Nov 7.
