Jannik Sinner starts off on the right foot at the ATP Finals 2024 in Turin, overcoming Alex De Minaur with a clear 2-0 (6-3, 6-4). At the Inalpi Arena, the world number one controlled the match against the Australian, who managed to put him in trouble in the second set, but without changing the outcome of the match. Now it’s time for Sinner to get ready for Tuesday's challenge against Taylor Fritz, who beat Medvedev by the same score. The match started well for Sinner, who closed the first set with an easy 6-3, while in the second set he faced a more aggressive De Minaur determined to stay in the match. After some errors that seemed to reopen the game, Sinner regained control and closed the match in one hour and 25 minutes. De Minaur tried until the very last, but the increased speed of play and confidence in the game allowed Sinner to impose himself. The number one's consistency in first serves allows him to gain ground and limit the Australian's chances, thus paving the way to the next match.
