The same thing happens on 5-4 for Nole, Jannik goes 0-30 on his serve but is saved almost the same way. The tie-break è the fitting conclusion to a set in which no game è went to advantages.

In the second game of the second set comes the first game to the advantage on Nole’s serve that is saved, in the quato there are the first two break points and they are in favor of the’Alto Adige, the Serb cancels the first one with an ace but on the second Jannik shoots a winning forehand missile: 3-1.

È the decisive break because é Sinner on his serve concedes absolutely nothing and even closes with an ace. For Jannik è the 17th career title on the major circuit, the seventh of the season, the fourth 1000, the third of the year.

Djokovic, a four-time winner of this tournament, on the other hand, misses the 100° career title, now ousted by a tennis player who right now è is clearly stronger than him and who also brought the balance of direct comparisons back to even, 4-4.
