The world No 2 became the first man to reach eight ATP finals in back-to-back seasons since Novak Djokovic in 2015-16 when beating Alex de Minaur in the last four.<\/p>\n

The Italian was broken for just the third time in the tournament as Zverev opened up a 5-1 lead in the opening set on his way to taking it 6-3 in 47 minutes.<\/p>\n

But Sinner hit straight back in the second, breaking Zverev to move 3-0 up and going on to win it 6-3 and level the match.<\/p>\n

Zverev saved two break points in the fifth game in the decider to lead 3-2, but was decisively broken in the 11th to trail 6-5 and Sinner ruthlessly served out for the title by winning his next service game to love.<\/p>\n
