Jannik Sinner vs Alex De Minaur Preview
Jannik Sinner topped his group and finished with a perfect 3-0 record. He extended his winning streak on indoor hard courts to 29 matches with a straight sets victory against Ben Shelton. That match took 22 games to decide and lasted an hour and 36 minutes.Sinner won the first set 6-3 with a couple of breaks of serve. Shelton saved a match point at 4-5 down and forced a second-set tiebreak. But Sinner was flawless in the tiebreak ,where he did not lose a single point on his serve. He won it 7-3. This was his eighth win in a row in Turin.
Alex De Minaur miraculously qualified for the semifinals at the expense of both Taylor Fritz and Lorenzo Musetti. The Australian lost his first two matches in the tournament, but was given a lifeline in his final group match. All he needed was to beat Fritz in straight sets and hope Alcaraz would do him a massive favor by winning his match against Musetti.
De Minaur certainly delivered on his end, managing to beat Fritz for the sixth time in their 11th meeting in straight sets to eliminate the American. In the evening session, Alcaraz defeated Musetti to finish the season as World No.1 and confirm De Minaur’s progress into the semis for the first time.
