The 13,000 spectators who filled the Inalpi Arena in Turin to capacity were stunned. So they almost forgot their idol, the Italian Jannik Sinneris still on track. His perfection, the power of his tennis, was such that in a few minutes the pressure cooker that usually accompanies him in the stadium disappeared.
Of admiration, because they have a hero who moves around the house with ease. He did not achieve this in 2023, Serbian Novak Djokovic prevented him from doing so. He will test it this Sunday, at 6 pm, against the American Taylor Fritz, the executioner of Alexander Zverev 6-3, 3-6 and 7-6 (3).
Although these blackouts were repeated, the emotional applause was stronger, seeing how Jannik Sinner, 23 years old and world No. 1, the executioner of Carlos Alcaraz in his debut, the Norwegian Casper Ruud. The transalpine player was superb to win 6-1 and 6-2 in one hour and 9 minutes. He was crushed as soon as he saved two break points against him at 3-1. No more concessions.
Devastating, majestic. Leading his team in ecstasy, which will be complete if he repeats the victory over Taylor Fritz in the final of the US Open and in this same event in the group stage, 6-4 and 6-4.
‘Jannik, Jannik’, dismissed the venerable tennis player’s 69 matches won this season, equaling Alexander Zverev’s record. Only six losses for the Australian Open and US Open champion. Sweet moment of form, they have won 25 of their last 26 games.
These are figures that show its efficiency, but how it generates them is more than that. Luster and strength. He graduated with an ‘ace’. Ruud was also stunned, it was rare for him to receive so much punishment for no fault of his own.
The sinner will try again to become the first Italian champion of the ATP Finals. Against Fritz, eager to receive the witness left by his countryman Pete Sampras in 1999.
“Oé, oé, oé, Sinner, Sinner!”, the crowd celebrated his pass. Create passions in your people. And it’s on the list Davis Cup for Málaga, to defend the ‘silver salad bowl’ it lifted in 2023.
More world No. 1, he can reach a maximum of 1,500 points in the tournament, of which he has already added 1,000. He will go for the economic pot, the tree 4,881,100 dollars, 4.5 euros. It is insured for $2,643,900. But none of that disturbs his silence. He knows how to handle the highs and lows of what professional sports require.
