ATP Finals, Jannik Sinner dominates first set against Casper Ruud

Jannik Sinner won, or rather, overcame the first set of the second semifinal of the ATP Finals in Turin against Casper Ruud of Norway with a score of 6-1 in half an hour of play.

The first three games are a nightmare for poor Ruud who suffers a partial 12-3 and especially a tennis lesson from the world number 1 losing his serve in the second game at 15.

In the fourth he holds serve to nil and then in the next one he has two counterbreak balls but Jannik jumps to the net both times and the Norwegian pardons him especially on the second.

Sinner eventually holds the serve and then again breaks his opponent even to zero, then fluently holds the serve to close out the first partial.
