TURIN (Reuters) – The final men’s tennis tournament of the season, the Nitto Denko ATP Finals, begins in Turin on the 10th. Local Yannik Sinner, ranked number one in the world, got off to a winning start.
Sinner played against 7th seed Alex de Minaur (Australia) in his first appearance in the tournament, and although he had a lackluster first set, conceding an early break, perhaps because he had been away from an official match for four weeks, he quickly broke. Back up and take the lead 6-3. He won the second set 6-4, winning in straight sets.
Sinner, who won all eight matches against De Minaur, said, “I’m very satisfied considering I haven’t played for four weeks.I made a few unforced errors at the start, but I believe I can play my tennis eventually.” I maintained my mental state,” he said.
Daniil Medvedev, the 2020 tournament champion from Russia, lost in straight sets to Taylor Fritz (USA) 4-6, 3-6. In the first set, he showed a lack of composure, committing three double faults and smashing his racket, resulting in the first loss of his career to Fritz.
