NEW DELHI: Jannik Sinner won the ATP Finals on Sunday, defeating Taylor Fritz in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. This victory marks Sinner’s first ATP Finals championship.
The final, held in Turin, Italy, saw Sinner continue his dominance over Fritz. He previously defeated Fritz in straight sets at both the US Open final in September and during the group stage of the ATP Finals.
Sinner’s win caps off a remarkable year for the 23-year-old. He secured eight tournament victories in 2023, including his first two Grand Slam titles at the Australian and US Opens.
These achievements propelled him to the number one ranking, making him the first Italian player to achieve this milestone.
“His Tour-leading 70th win of the season made him the first player since Ivan Lendl in 1986 to win the tournament without dropping a set.”
Sinner’s victory is particularly significant as he becomes the first Italian player to win the prestigious ATP Finals.
