The sinner beat Djokovic in the ATP Finals after a great match

Novak Djokovic has shown himself to be indestructible since disappearing from Carlos Alcaraz the Wimbledon final. For four months, he lived a love affair with success, his traveling companion in nineteen consecutive matches, which gave him the status of world number one of the year for the eighth consecutive season. He lifted the trophy a day before his reunion with the maligned defeat.

The Serbian, 36 years old, was knocked out by the Italian Jannik Sinner, 22 years old and world No. 4. ‘Partidazo’, one of the most amazing times. Excellent transalpine performance, pushed by 12,000 spectators at the Pala Alpitour Stadium in Turin, dreaming of victory from their tennis player.

An important barrier was broken sinful, that for the fourth time he achieved victory over a Djokovic who showed himself to be untouchable. He defeated the reigning champion with outstanding tennis. And with great faith, because ‘Nole’ took him to the third set and he came back from 4-2 and served from the transalpine to tighten the rope until the final tiebreak.

Sinner and his fans came together to take the honours, defeating Djokovic 7-5, 6-7 (5) and 7-6 (2) in 3h.04′. The classification is still not worth it despite his second victory in this Green Group, but Jannick jumps in quality. He removed the ghosts of oppression, the fear of the greatest. He finished the tiebreak with intelligence and confidence. Like the champion he seems destined to be.

He came to 2-0 on the final day of the match, his rivalry with Holger Runeshown in 1-1, the same balance as Novak Djokovicwhich will see them with the Polish Hubert Hurkaczsubstitute for the injured Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner They flirted with perfection from the opening point. Both made their particular declaration of intent with some impeccable initial delivery. Traces ‘aces’ and blank markers.

They walked hand in hand so they even imitated the challenge of breaking balls against them. Sinner raised his, in the sixth game, with an ‘ala’. Djokovic He then redeemed himself with a final serve.

A tennis of excellence, for quality, variety and intensity. Suddenly, an unexpected script change. 5-5, 40-0 Djokovic. Hawkeye’s request made it 40-15. He invited the Sinner to continue pushing, and by what means. In the same, double fault from the Serbian, who was angry with the public because he cheered this decision, logically thinking about his Italian player. Right, because a run of ten points from this one led to a 7-5 set.

How to TKO anyone. Not Djokovic, who requested treatment for his neck in the second set where he also clashed with the chair umpire. He complained about ‘letting’, about serves hitting the tape. According to him, only he himself beeps, when it is a sensor that decides. ‘Nole’ looking for motivation, to shine. Unbreakable, he avoided the more than dangerous situation of losing in two sets, which would have left him in the hands of other results.

He endured, he had a special gift for weathering storms. They took the tiebreak 7-5. Tie, after two hours. Finger to ear, gesture directed at the stand. The more he fights, the better. Balkan is always like this, which also serves as the conductor of the audience’s whistles.

sinful, Calm down, do your thing. Focused on the mission to show how he has grown as a player in recent months. He felt the dizziness of having the legend on the ropes, he couldn’t handle the 4-2 that invited the sentence. Djokovic always comes back, and he did so immediately (4-4). He knows how to teach drawings to the new generation, instill respect for the ‘Big 3’. He did what he hadn’t done in two and a half hours: break the Italian’s serve.

A ‘great game’ isn’t a great game without drama. It ended with both of them walking on a knife edge in the final tiebreak. An amazing Sinner won, level with a demanding Djokovic as usual. Madness in Turin.
