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.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
