At the Finals in Turin, a balanced first set, then a slight injury to the Canadian makes everything easy for the blue. Musetti defeated by Taylor Fritz will now face De Minaur
Turin is at his feet and Jannik Sinner does not disappoint. In his debut at the ATP Finals the Italian won clearly in two sets against Felix Auger Aliassime, but the real match only lasted until 6-5 in the first set, because the left calf injury that affected the Canadian was not strong enough to force him to retire but it strongly affected his performance. Sinner didn’t play a great match, but all in all there was no need given the development of the match. His entire staff in the stands, his family and girlfriend Laila who joined him in Turin and also the cheering of his friend and colleague Sonego framed by the Rai cameras and which brings a smile to Jannik’s face. The next match for Sinner will be on Wednesday against the German Zverev
The match
Sinner served very well (he will close the first set with a phenomenal 100% of points won with the first serve) and he had no problems in his turn at serve. He had two break points that he didn’t exploit and then two set points, also canceled out by Auger Aliassime. Then the injury suffered by the Canadian effectively ended the match. After the 7-5 in the first set, the second was a runway for Sinner who was not distracted and closed 6-1.
Musetti knockout
The public’s help was not enough Lorenzo Musetti to get the better of Taylor Fritzthe finalist of the last edition of the Finals. The tiredness of the Athens final played not even 48 hours earlier (three hours on court against Djokovic) took its toll especially when Musetti didn’t take advantage of three break points and then in the next game he lost his serve. Mental as well as physical tiredness because Lorenzo was unable to react and Fritz went 6-3 in 49 minutes. In the second set the balance was broken in the fifth game with the break in favor of Fritz who then managed to end the second set 6-4. Musetti’s next opponent will be De Minaur.
