Struggles for Auger-Aliassime
Felix Auger-Aliassime put up a fight early in the match. He had previously taken a set off Sinner during his run to the US Open final. However, an injury at 6-5, while up 30-0 in the second set, hampered his performance. Following the injury, Auger-Aliassime struggled with movement and began sending shots long as he attempted to regain control.
Sinner’s Path to the Finals
In securing his victory, Sinner sealed the match with an ace, much to the delight of his home crowd. He is now focused on defending his title as he vies for the year-end number one ranking in Turin. To retain the top spot, Sinner needs to defend his title successfully and relies on Alcaraz, his main rival, to lose a group match.
Alcaraz’s Performance
On Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz began his campaign in the opposite group with a straight-set win over Alex de Minaur. The stage is set for an exciting competition as both players vie for the prestigious year-end ranking.
