Alex de Minaur’s dream of reaching the ATP Finals has quickly descended into familiar nightmare territory against his nemesis Jannik Sinner in the Italian’s Turin den. De Minaur, the first Australian to make the season-ending men’s championship for 20 years since Lleyton Hewitt, once again couldn’t cope with the power and class of the world No.1 and two-time grand slam champion. Sinner won 6-3 6-4 on his Finals debut at the Inalpi Arena on Sunday night .
8 is nothing if not a fighter and battled gamely to stay in the contest at the start of the second, cheered on at courtside by compatriots Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell, who had earlier won their first match at the Finals doubles event. Yet Sinner made his move in the fifth game, earning three break points and, after a medical emergency in the packed arena delayed proceedings for five minutes, he returned to earn the decisive breakthrough.
