Jannik Sinner he is increasingly proving to be the absolute dominator of the circuit this season. The world number one defeated Casper Ruud 6-1 6-2 to gain access to the last act of Nitto Atp Finals 2024. For the blue it is the second consecutive final reached on the fast indoor stadiumInalpi Arena in Turin after the defeat suffered last year at the hands of Novak Djokovic. This time there will be a division between him and the title Taylor Fritzwho defeated the world number 2 in the semifinals Alexander Zverev. An opponent that Sinner has already beaten twice this year: in the final of the US Open and on the second day of the group stage at the Finals. Winning undefeated would mean more than just that for Jannik gross over 4.6 million euros but also increase the advantage in the standings over the pursuers.
Sinner number one even after the Australian Open: here’s why
Tonight’s victory over Ruud brings Sinner to 11,330 points, while Zverev is stuck at 7,915. At the beginning of next year, the German’s 335 points from the United Cup and 800 from the Australian Open will expire, while the Italian will be called upon to defend the 2,000 points of the title in Melbourne. By winning both tournaments, Zverev would go to 9,280 and would not be able to reach Sinner even if the Italian went out in the first round in Australia. Jannik is thus certain to reach 36 consecutive weeks at the top of the world rankings.
