Superb sinner

Nitto ATP Finals: Home favourite Jannik Sinner capped his brilliant run in the year-end tournament with a fine win over Daniil Medvedev which took the Italian start to the brink of ATP Finals glory on Saturday.

Sinner delivered a gutsy semifinal display to overcome Medvedev 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-1 and book his spot in the championship match in which he will meet the winner of the second semifinal between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

Faced with an elite opponent and the huge expectations of an adoring home crowd, Sinner delivered a largely ice-cool display packed with clean baseline hitting to extend his unbeaten week inside the Pala Alpitour in Turin.
