Jannik sinner is the new teacher of world tennis. The Italian, world number 1, was beaten in the final by Taylor Fritz by a double 6-4, to win the last tournament of the year in Turin. In this way, the young tennis player gets rid of the thorn that he had last year, since he lost in the final against Djokovic, and establishes himself as the best of this 2024, in which he managed to reach the leadership of the ATP ranking. and, now, won the title in the ATP Finals.
At home, in Italy, Fisherman established itself at the reveal of the tournament. Fritz arrived after winning the semi-finals against Zverev and to be classified in a group in which they were number 1, Medvedev And From Minaur. But he was unable to deliver the final blow in the final, where the Italian proved superior. Sinner took advantage of the only moments when his opponent gave him a chance, in the seventh game of the first set and the fifth of the second.
World tennis thus has a new teacher, heir to the greatest athletes of this sport. Federer, Murray, Sampras, Becker… Djokovic It was the last. But the new generation is already here. After the victories of Tsitsipas, Medvedev And Zverev, Djokovic reigned again for two years in a row and now Sinner has taken advantage of the Serbian’s absence to assert his dominance over current tennis.
He is the first Italian to win this title. He is already the history of Italian tennis at only 23 years old. He will now defend the crown of champion of the Davis Cup. From challenge to challenge. His season is of a very high level. The same year in which he won his first two Grand Slams, those of Australia and the United States, he closed the ATP circuit with the most important end-of-season title. With yet another demonstration of authority, power, superiority.
The reality is that despite the great absence of Nolé this year, despite the cold of Alcaraz or the defeat of Zverev in the semi-finals, nothing can dispute Sinner’s overwhelming superiority in this tournament. He was the absolute owner in every game. The rival to beat. The proper name of the tournament. The figure par excellence of the event which brought together the 8 best tennis players on the planet with the sole exception of the Serbian.
Sinner, Fritz’s “master”
Fritz will have nightmares about Fisherman. Because in the US Open final they lost to San Candido. That same Tuesday, in the group stage, they also lost. And, although it is often said that the third time is the charm, he has once again succumbed to the spectacular track record of a tennis player without limits. All the matches without being able to achieve a set against the most fit tennis player on the circuit.
That’s not it Fritz will not play well. It’s just that Sinner was once again intractable. He made almost no mistakes. Resilient in defense and clinical in attack. And, if he does not make mistakes, with the technique of his blows, fast and powerful, the chances of winning are minimal. Almost non-existent.
Fisherman He is a player who wears out his rival by being a wall. His incredible resistance allows him to find the cracks that the rival makes almost out of desperation, always seeking to adjust as much as possible while trying to force the Italian. And in the first set, with a score of 3-3, Sinner found her.
He had two balls of to break with 40-15 in his favor. But Fritz He saved them. He put it 40-40. But he didn’t finish his serve and Sinner got another break point. Fritz saved again. In the fourth round, there was no forgiveness from the Italian, who got the set back on track.
He had to put on a work suit when Fritz I had fun to break who was able to change everything just after Sinner missed a set point. But it was the Italians’ night and nothing could stop him. He saved this small setback and closed with his second chance.
As Fritz was forced to react, nervous that another opportunity would pass him by, Fisherman accelerated The American tried to take refuge on his bench, desperately seeking an explanation, but ended up succumbing to the wishes of the young sensation. Two broken balls and it was 3-2 in their favor. 4-2 with his serve. Victory was one step away.
Already in the last game of the match he wanted to show himself. He stirred up the audience by closing a very long exchange with an inaccessible and very beautiful drop shot. It was the final blow, Fritz was eliminated. Sinner’s name began to resonate in the Inalpi Arena in Turin. A year of 70 victories. Its historic tournament. More dedicated, if possible. 23 year old teacher.
