Jannik Sinner wins semi-final Turin
The home crowd at Turin’s Inalpi Arena got what they’d hoped for: Jannik Sinner powering past Alex de Minaur 7-5, 6-2 in the semi-final to book his spot in the final of the ATP Finals for the third straight year. ATP Tour+1
From the first game, Sinner looked keyed in: he broke de Minaur in game 8 of the first set and closed it out from there, then rode a near-perfect serve display in the second. The Australian, despite his speed and fight, simply couldn’t find the windows he needed. With this win, Sinner extends his indoor hard-court winning streak to 30 matches — a stat that deserves no small hype.
“Winning all three round-robin matches and then this… I feel good,” Sinner said post-match. ATP Tour+1 For a player whose greatest adversary might now be expectations, this performance was calm, clean and clinically executed.

Sinner’s indoor streak continues as Turin show grows
Let’s talk context: the #2 seed is now standing in the final of the season-ending event with zero losses this week and zero sets dropped. The semi-final against de Minaur wasn’t the slugfest of the year, but that’s exactly the kind of efficient performance champions deliver under pressure. It wasn’t flashy—it was effective.
First Ball Forehand Match Point: If you want to win when it matters, you don’t have to light the roof on fire—you just have to play your pattern clean, serve big at the right moments, and let the opponent fight uphill. Sinner did. And now he’s one win away from the title.
