TURIN (ITALPRESS) – Jannik Sinner flies into the final at the Atp Finals in Turin. On the fast court of the Inalpi Arena, in the second semifinal the South Tyrolean star, No. 1 in the world rankings, overwhelmed Norwegian Casper Ruud, No. 7 Atp, in two quick sets with a score of 6-1 6-2, in one hour and 10 minutes of play. For Sinner, this is his second career final at the Atp Finals: last year he was beaten in the title match by Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, who is absent in this edition. “For sure it’s a very big and beautiful emotion, it’s very special to play here for me, it’s a very important tournament: last year I lost in the final, this year we’re at it again and we’ll try to do better – the warm words of the 23-year-old champion from San Candido – But regardless of tomorrow’s result, it’s been a week of emotions and beautiful moments. Do I feel the pressure of now always being the man to beat? Honestly I’m just trying to play 100 percent every day, I can only control how I am on the court and how to use the energy of the fans, otherwise this sport is unpredictable. Today the match could have been complicated, instead I was good at staying there mentally,” Sinner concluded, “and in the second set I was able to raise the level. For the title of ‘master’ the Italian will challenge tomorrow, in the remake of the final of the Us Open 2024, the U.S. Taylor Fritz, number 5 in the world, who in the first semifinal had surprisingly eliminated, 6-3 3-6 7-6(3) and after two hours and 24 minutes of the match, the German Alexander Zverev, No. 2 Atp and triumphant twice in this tournament, in 2018 in London and in 2021 just in Turin.
