Sinner, it’s a symphony! The match with De Minaur lasts until 5 all, then the blue spreads (7-5/6-2)

There’s no cat tripe when Jannik Sinner plays like this. Or rather, there was succulent tripe as long as the number two in the world wanted to keep the match alive, but above all until the Australian played to the best of his ability in the semifinal of the ATP Finals in Turin, i.e. until 5-5. Then, when the finish line of the first set came into view, Sinner did what he usually does: he revved up his engine, dematerializing in the eyes of his opponent: 7-5 in the first set and a monologue in the second set (6-2). A 2-0 which qualifies for tomorrow afternoon’s final which, although it cannot guarantee him a counter-overtaking against Alcaraz (the Spaniard arithmetically finished 2025 at the top, even if he failed to reach the final), would give him the opportunity to win the Masters at the end of the year. Not bad. To find out who will be on the other side of the net we will have to wait for the second semi-final, which will be played between Alcaraz and Auger-Aliassime from 8.30pm onwards.
