The world number 1 is chasing his second consecutive final at the ATP Finals. Facing the Norwegian: the two have not faced each other since 2021
Turin, 16 November 2024 - In search of the second consecutive final at the Nitto ATP Finals. After having closed at the top of the group Nastase with a perfect record (three victories and no sets lost), Jannik Sinner is preparing to face the semi-final against Casper Ruud, second in the other group with a balance of two statements (against Carlos Alcaraz e Andrei Rublev) and a knockout (against Alexander Zverev). Given his current form and the extra day of rest, the Italian is entering the match as a big favorite. "He has probably prepared himself as best he can, and in a certain sense I know that perhaps he has an advantage because today (yesterday for those reading, ed.) I played and it was late," said the Norwegian after his success against Rublev. "But every match is open: I will go on court as an underdog, he is the favorite. But he also has more pressure on his shoulders, he is playing at home. I know the feeling you sometimes get when playing an important match at home, but it doesn't seem to worry him too much. Honestly, it seems like he has forgotten how to lose." Whoever wins this match will then face the winner of the other semifinal, the one between the German Zverev and the American, in the final act of the event underway in Turin. Taylor Fritz.
