Jannik Sinner manages to keep his winning streak intact so far in the ATP Finals 2024nearing the semifinals of the tournament. Following his first victory against Alex de Miñaur, the local player defeated Taylor Fritz 6-4 6-4 in a highly competitive match. The world number 1 now sits at the top of the group, with one more match day to go. Thus, Sinner still doesn’t have his spot secured, although he is feeling confident. With the Australian already out, it remains to be seen how the two semifinal spots will be divided among the Italian, Medvedev, and Fritz.

In this rematch of the US Open final a few months ago, Fritz and Sinner treated the audience to a great first set full of intense battles. The contest was closely fought, with both players overcoming challenges through their serves. In fact, initially, it was the Italian who faced more difficulties in the match, but the American failed to capitalize on his opportunities. Later, Fritz regretted not seizing the moment in the early stages, as he ended up losing his service at a critical juncture.

Sinner repaid the unwavering support of the crowd in Turin by excelling in returns and capitalizing on Fritz’s errors. Justified frustration for the American, as he conceded a first set that could have gone either way. This set paved the way for an even more intense second set.

Top-notch Performance, but Sinner is Sinner

The world’s number 1 remained unfazed, not giving up on any ball. It must be said that Fritz, despite losing the first set, did not give up easily either. Both players excelled with their serves, with Fritz managing to fend off the Italian’s initial attempt to secure a break. The intensity and level of play kept rising in this match, probably the most closely contested of the tournament so far.

It was clear that the audience enjoyed the spectacle provided by both players, trading blows back and forth. But in the end, Fritz faced the same fate as in the first set. Doubts arose in the most crucial moments, struggling with his second serves against a determined opponent. Sinner was patient and extremely clever in overcoming a resilient Fritz, despite those late doubts. Onward to the next match.
