The ATP Masters 1000 in Toronto came to a close on Sunday as fans packed out the Sobeys Stadium to watch Italian Jannik Sinner taken on hard hitting Australian Alex de Minaur at National Bank Open.
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. He ended up winning 6-4, 6-1 in straight sets to win the ATP Masters 1000 championship in Toronto.
In doing so, the 21 year is now the youngest player to win the Canadian Masters 1000. The record is held by Alexander Zverev who won in 2021 when he was just 20 years old.
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.
Sinner has had a great run in Masters 1000 tournaments as his record is now at 18-4 this year. With the US Open fast approaching will Sinner make it into the later stages of the competition… get the latest odds rights here.
Carlos Alcaraz Plays Poorly In Toronto
Canadian fans were keen to see world no 1 Carlos Alcaraz in action but the Spaniard had a poor outing in Toronto as he lost in the third round. Alcaraz was candid and said he did not feel comfortable in any of the games in Toronto and did say that he felt the balls being used at the National Bank Open was too slow for his liking!
