The 22-year-old from Sexten, Italy, after his triumph in Toronto appeared tired and out of ideas on the Ohio concrete against Dusan Lajovic, who nevertheless took a lot of his own effort to beat him. Jannik then can recharge his batteries and then secure in the last Slam of the year his qualification to the ATP Finals in Turin.

Currently Sinner in the Race is behind Carlos alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev with 4185 points and is 1640 points away from qualifying among the eight who will play in Turin at the end of the year.

His lead over ninth-ranked Taylor Fritz of the U.S., 1535 points, is reassuring, and the imperious comeback of Germany’s Sascha Zverev, who moved up to eighth place after the Cincinnati semifinals, is not too worrisome. In short, Sinner is not long away from mathematical certainty of qualification.
