Jannik Sinner added another big title to his tremendous year, beating US Open runner-up Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday for the ATP Finals trophy.
6-4, 6-4 on Sunday for the ATP Finals trophy before his home fans -- and before a final verdict is reached in his doping case.
Sinner's explanation was that the banned performance-enhancer entered his system unintentionally through a massage from his physiotherapist, who had used a spray containing the steroid to treat his own cut finger. Sinner became the first Italian to win the finals, and he went one step further than last year, when he lost the championship match to Novak Djokovic, who withdrew this time. And he did so without dropping a set -- which was last accomplished by Ivan Lendl in 1986.
