   Points won by each set: | 34-27, 29-27 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   32 % Sinner – 18 of 56
   34 % Fritz – 21 of 61

   In front of the supportive home-crowd, Sinner confirmed he’s the best player of 2024: two Slams, three Masters 1K titles, two ATP 500 titles, and the season-ending ATP Finals (Masters). En route to the title Sinner didn’t drop a set; in history of the event (as far as the ’round robin’ format is concerned), only Ivan Lendl in 1986 did the same (Lendl lost 3.7 games on average per set, Sinner 3.3). Sinner finishes the season with a huge advantage over the second Zverev (almost 4 thousand points!). The final against Fritz [5] it was a carbon-copy of their meeting at the group stage. In the final Sinner obtained breaks at 3-all and 2-all respectively, a few days earlier he broke in the 10th games of both sets. They had also met in the US Open final earlier this year which marks the first case of the US Open final repeated at ‘Masters’ a few months later since Djokovic defeated Federer in both events of 2015. “I actually believe there is still a gap of improvement,” Sinner said, “Today I served very, very good at times, which was not the case throughout the whole tournament. There are still certain shots and points that I can do better, but [these] are small details.”

   Sinner’s route to his 18th title:
   rr Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4
   rr Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4
   rr Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-4
   S Casper Ruud 6-1, 6-2
   W Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4

   Serve & volley: both 1/1
