Sinner in the finals

He è did not succeed in the shot put. Not even friend Jack Draper è could stop the march of Jannik Sinner, who è deservedly landed in the final of the U.S. Open being held on the concrete courts of Flushing Meadows.

The Briton, however, tried everything to bar his rival’s way. Jannik, who at times è seemed to have problems with his grip because of the high humidity, in the first set took the lead only at 5-5, going on to win the partial 7-5.

Even more hard-fought was the second partial, which had its epilogue only at the tie-break: the world number 1 managed to change gears immediately and stretch, flying to 4-0, to go on to close on a convincing 7-3.

Sinner has his hands on the match but does not exploit the break ball that would take him to 2-0 in the third set. Jannik makes up for it in the sixth game: break and 4-2. Draper has no choice but to raise the white flag: the set ends 6-2 for the world No. 1.
