The precedents between Sinner and De Minaur
Today’s will be the tenth match between Sinner and De Minaur. The Australian has been defeated in all nine previous matches. For the Australian, his South Tyrolean friend is a real nightmare. In fact, with his solid and linear game, he has always struggled to put him in difficulty. It is no coincidence that so far he has only managed to take one set away from him, five years ago, in the quarter-finals in Sofia when he forced Sinner to comeback 6-7 (3/7) 6-4 6-1. For the rest he suffered all crushing defeats. Starting from the first match, in the final of the 2019 Nex Gen Finals in which he received a heavy 4-2 4-1 4-2. This was followed, in order, by knockouts at the 2022 Australian Open (7-6 6-3 6-4), at the 2022 Madrid Masters 1000 (6-4 6-1), in the Canadian Masters 1000 final 2023 (6-4 6-1), in the historic last act of the Davis Cup final 2023 (6-3 6-0), in the Rotterdam final 2024 (7-5 6-4), in the round robin of the last ATP Finals in Turin (6-3 6-4) and, finally, in the Davis Cup semi-final in November (6-3 6-4).
