US superstar’s chance for revenge over world No.1 as ATP Finals crown up for grabs
TURIN, ITALY - NOVEMBER 12: Taylor Fritz of United States and Jannik Sinner of Italy embrace following the Men's Singles Ilie Nastase Group Stage match during day three of the Nitto ATP finals 2024 at Inalpi Arena on November 12, 2024 in Turin , Italy . Jannik Sinner has his first ATP Finals crown firmly in his sights after crushing Casper Ruud 6-1, 6-2 on Saturday to set up a title decider with Taylor Fritz .
The 23-year-old has reacted to losing last year’s final to Novak Djokovic by displacing the Serbian tennis icon at the top of the game, winning seven tournaments this season including his first Grand Slam victories at the Australian and US Opens. A World Anti-Doping Agency appeal against his initial exoneration has been hanging over his head since September, when WADA announced it was seeking a ban of up to two years.
Both players had chances to take control in a topsy-turvy third set, but failed to capitalise on a host of break points before Fritz held his nerve better in the tie-break to claim a spot in the final.
