Home hero in Turin: Jannik Sinner qualifies for ATP Finals for first time after Beijing title
ATPThursday, 05 October 2023 at 07:30
Italy’s tennis star Jannik Sinner has achieved yet another
milestone after his recent triumph in the China Open.
The 22-year-old lifted the title after beating the current world
number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final with a score of 7-6, 7-6.
That victory was even sweeter as it helped Sinner book his
place in the ATP Finals for the first time in his career.
Interestingly, it was also the first time when Sinner managed
to get the better of Medvedev in a professional tennis match.
Before facing the Russian tennis star, Sinner also got the better
of Spain’s young sensation and the current world number two Spain’s Carlos
Alcaraz in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-1.
The recent developments will be a big boost for the
youngsters who had a tough time while performing in the big events.
Sinner played in all Grand Slams in 2023 but failed to
qualify for the quarterfinal or beyond in any of the big events.
His most notable performance came in Wimbledon in July where
his journey came to end in the semifinals where he lost to Serbia’s legendary
tennis player and the current world number one Novak Djokovic with a score of 6-3,
6-4, 7-6.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
