The Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, current number 1 in the world, beat the Norwegian Casper Ruud by 2 sets to 0 this Saturday (16th) and qualified for the final of the ATP Finals in Turin.
Playing at home, the Tyrolean won the first set in the Piedmontese capital in 30 minutes, 6-1. In the second, Ruud started more offensively in the first two games, but saw Sinner come out and ended the game between 6 and 2.
With this result, the best tennis player in the world reaches the final of the tournament undefeated for the second consecutive year and will face the American Taylor Fritz this Sunday, who surprised and defeated the German Alexander Zverev, 2 sets to 1. (17), starting at 2pm (Brasilia time).
“It’s a great and beautiful emotion. It’s very special to play here,” he told the press after the victory, thanking everyone for their support and saying that, regardless of the result of the final, “it’s been a week of great emotions”.
When asked about the weight and responsibility of being considered the favorite, Sinner emphasizes that “he can’t control it, but he can control his performance during the match.
“Honestly, I’m trying to play 100% these days. I can’t control the result, I can only control how I am on the pitch and how much energy I can use from all of you. The rest is very unpredictable,” he concluded.
At 23, Sinner is seeking his eighth title since January, having won the Australian Open, the US Open and the Masters in Miami, Cincinnati and Shanghai.
The final will be the fifth clash between Sinner and Fritz, and in the most recent one, in the group stage, the Italian won by doubles 6/4. .
