Official: Jannik Sinner in semifinals at Nitto ATP Finals

Jannik Sinner automatically in semifinals at Nitto ATP Finals 2024

He was not yet officially qualified, but he was close. His two-set wins on Sunday and Tuesday helped bring Jannik Sinner very significantly closer to the semifinals of the ATP Finals, which as of a few minutes ago he è officially certain to take part in.

For mathematical certainty, in fact, Sinner needed only one set won by Alex de Minaur: the Australian won 7-5 in the first partial against Taylor Fritz, handing qualification to his friend and occasional doubles partner.

Tonight, then, the match against Medvedev will be necessary only to determine whether Jannik will pass as first or second in the group. A win (with any result) would obviously guarantee him the top spot in the Nastase group, but it è not the’only combination.

If Fritz were to remount de Minaur and the world No. 1 loses in three sets to Medvedev, Sinner would still be first (in which case he would pass Fritz as second).
