Great opportunity for them both to capture a first Masters 1K title. Sinner [8] was a heavy favorite and he didn’t disappoint. He entered the final with three service winners and jumped to a 2:0 lead. He lost a break lead twice in the 1st set, but it was only a question of his good winners/errors ratio to impose the supremacy. De Minaur [18] was playing extremely passive tennis, he needed 60 minutes to hit his first winner. Sinner had no problem whatsoever in the 2nd set because De Minaur finally began to make errors off easy balls which could be a cause of his tiredness – it was his second final within two weeks. “It means a lot. It is a great result,” Sinner said. “One I can share with all the people who are close to me every day. It is a nice moment to share with them and we are doing the right things. This result makes us feel good, stronger and hungry to work even harder in the future.”
Sinner’s route to his 8th title:

3 Andy Murray w/o
Q Gael Monfils 6-4, 4-6, 6-3
S Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-4
