All in control, in this remake of the final of the last US Open Jannik Sinner won against Taylor Fritz for his second match at the Turin Masters.
Two out of two for the world number 1 at the Turin Masters. Easy winner over Australian Alex De Minaur for his first match (6-3, 6-4), Jannik Sinner did the job to dispose of world number 5 Taylor Fritz in 1h40 (6-4, 6-4). The American, who defeated Daniil Medvedev in his first match (6-4, 6-3), delivered a great performance but was punished by the surgical efficiency of his opponent.
Solid on his plays, Sinner only had to defend a small break point in his 10 service games. His opponent Fritz lost both sets at the worst time. To get back to 5-5, the finalist of the last US Open saw his opponent toughen up the game by pushing him to make mistakes.
Even with his two victories, Sinner’s qualification is not yet official. He will have to beat Daniil Medvedev, who recovered this Tuesday against De Minaur, to earn his place in the last four. Taylor Fritz will go from opponent to supporter of Sinner: if the Italian beats the Russian he will have his destiny in his hands.
With the possible withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner seems to be the big favorite for this Masters. Be careful though, the recent winner of the Masters 1000 in Paris Alexandre Zverev also got into this competition well.
