Sinner had previously reached the final. The Italian beat Djokovic 6:2, 6:7 (0:7), 6:4. “We were both a bit tired. It was a tough game,” said Sinner, who continued his successful run by winning the prestigious duel. A few days ago he had already prevailed against the Serb in the final of the ATP Masters in Shanghai. Now he needed 2:27 hours to defeat his competitor.
