Jannik Sinner bookended his stellar season in style Sunday by capturing his maiden Nitto ATP Finals trophy.
The home favourite produced a near-flawless performance to down Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 and become the first Italian champion in the tournament’s 55-year history. Sinner’s standout year, which began with victory at the Australian Open, has concluded with his first title on home soil. All dimensions of Sinner’s vastly improved game were on full display throughout the contest, but his serve proved to be the distinct weapon, from which he won 83 per cent (33/40) of points behind his first delivery, according to Infosys ATP Stats.
