Jannik Sinner Makes It Look Easy

Alex de Minaur has caught the eye of tennis fans around the world as he does have enormous potential but he did look out of his league at the ATP Masters 1000 final in Toronto. This was the first time that de Minaur had made it to a Masters 1000 final and his nerves and experienced showed.

This was the third time that Sinner was playing a Masters final as his previous two attempts in 2021 and 2023 was unsuccessful. Jannik Sinner made it look easy as he found his rhythm right away and did not let the occasion of a final faze him.

In a statement, Sinner said

It means a lot. It is a great result. One I can share with all the people who are close to me every day. It is a nice moment to share with them and we are doing the right things. This result makes us feel good, stronger and hungry to work even harder in the future.
