Jannik Sinner sent an ominous message as he delivered a stellar performance to see off Alex de Minaur in straight sets to reach the final at the 2025 ATP Finals.<\/p>\n
The world No 2 and reigning champion prevailed 7-5, 6-2 against seventh-ranked de Minaur in a high-quality semi-final match in Turin.<\/p>\n
Sinner<\/a> now holds a 13-0 record against de Minaur (including a match at the Next Gen ATP Finals), and he has dropped only two sets against the 26-year-old Australian.<\/p>\n The four-time Grand Slam champion struck 29 winners to 22 unforced errors as he progressed to his third consecutive final at the ATP Finals.<\/p>\n Sinner was pushed hard by de Minaur in a 66-minute opening set as he had to hold from 0-40 in his opening service game, while it took eight break points for him to break the Australian\u2019s serve.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old then raised his level in the second set as he raced into a 4-0 lead en route to sealing a statement win.<\/p>\n Sinner will play either world No 1 Carlos Alcaraz or world No 8 Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final in Turin.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner\u2019s win against de Minaur was his 30th consecutive victory in indoor hard courts \u2014 a streak that started at the 2023 Davis Cup Finals.<\/p>\n The Italian has climbed to fifth place on the list of the longest indoor hard-court win streaks in ATP history, overtaking Roger Federer\u2019s 29-match run between 2010 and 2012.<\/p>\n Sinner\u2019s last indoor defeat came against Novak Djokovic in the final of the 2023 ATP Finals.<\/p>\n John McEnroe<\/strong> \u2013 47 wins (1978-1987)<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic<\/strong> \u2013 35 wins (2012-2015)<\/p>\n Roger Federer<\/strong> \u2013 33 wins (2004-2007)<\/p>\n Ivan Lendl<\/strong> \u2013 32 wins (1980-1983)<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner<\/strong> \u2013 30* wins (2023-active)<\/p>\n True cost of Jannik Sinner\u2019s \u2018very odd\u2019 drug ban revealed as he misses out on a big prize<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz reveals number of Grand Slams he would be happy to retire with<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n After losing to Sinner in the round robin stage in Turin, Zverev rejected a question that suggested the Italian\u2019s level was \u201cunplayable.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not unplayable,\u201d the world No 3 insisted. \u201cI had many opportunities. He had one [in the second set], he used the chance. This is why he\u2019s No 1 in the world, you know? He uses the chances that he gets.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a high-level match. He just used his chances much, much better than me. That\u2019s why, in the end, he won both sets.\u201d<\/p>\n Sinner\u2019s latest performance confirmed his status as the ATP Finals favourite, and the Italian is close to unstoppable on indoor hard courts when he is at his best.<\/p>\n Alcaraz is, perhaps, the only player capable of beating an in-form Sinner in these conditions.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old Spaniard has won seven of his last eight encounters with Sinner and leads the overall head-to-head 10-5.<\/p>\n However, the pair have only played one match on indoor hard, and it was their first-ever meeting \u2014 which Alcaraz won at the 2021 Paris Masters.<\/p>\n Alcaraz secured his maiden indoor title in Rotterdam in February and he went unbeaten in the group stage in Turin, but this remains his least favourite surface.<\/p>\n If the six-time major winner can overcome Auger-Aliassime to set up a blockbuster final showdown with Sinner, he will find himself in a rare occasion where he is the underdog.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Jannik Sinner\u2019s reaction to Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s year-end No 1 milestone revealed<\/a> The post Jannik Sinner delivers masterclass to reach ATP Finals final \u2013 but is he \u2018unplayable\u2019?<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jannik Sinner sent an ominous message as he delivered a stellar performance to see off Alex de Minaur in straight sets to reach the final at the 2025 ATP Finals.
