In a rematch of the final of the 2024 United States Open, Italy’s Jannik Sinner defeated Taylor Fritz of the United States in the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday. At the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Sinner defeated Fritz 6-4, 6-4.

A major reason Sinner won came down to the serve. Sinner had 14 aces compared to eight for Fritz. Sinner showed great accuracy with his serve too. He had zero aces compared to two for Fritz. Sinner also had six break point chances, where he broke Fritz twice.

Sinner went undefeated throughout the tournament with a perfect record of five wins and zero losses. He finished first in the Ilie Nastase Group. There he beat Alex de Minaur of Australia 6-3, 6-4, Daniil Medvedev of Russia, 6-3, 6-4, and Fritz 6-4, 6-4. Then in the semifinals, Sinner steamrolled past Casper Ruud of Norway, 6-1, 6-2.

This is the seventh time in the history of the event that a player won the ATP Finals in his home country.
