Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner dismissed Australia’s Alex de Minaur 7-5, 6-2 Saturday (15 November) to advance to the championship match at the 2025 ATP Finals in Turin, Italy.
Sinner, who is the defending champion, has now advanced to three straight finals at the year-end tournament. He’ll face the winner of the second semi-final set for later Saturday between Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Canada’s Félix Auger-Aliassime.
In the day’s first semi-final, Sinner continued his excellent play in his home country. Through the group stage and Saturday’s match, the Italian has yet to drop a set. Sinner has also dominated against de Minaur, winning all 13 of their meetings, including four this season.
The two played a close first set and were tied at five games all before Sinner broke the Australian and served out the opening set.
Sinner, who served a three month doping ban earlier in 2025, broke de Minaur twice at the start of the second set to cruise to the match victory in just under two hours’ time.
The second semi-final is set for 20:30 local time, and the championship match will be contested on Sunday (16 November) at 18:00.
