Taylor Fritz, the U.S. Open finalist who lost to Sinner in New York, was also drawn in the Italian’s group alongside Australian Alex De Minaur, making his ATP Tour Finals debut; Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev, who qualified as world No. 9 after Novak Djokovic withdrew, rounded out the second group.

He’s got a stranglehold on the No. 1 ranking. He’s unbeaten this week and hasn’t dropped a set. And his home Italian fans can’t get enough of him.

As predicted, Jannik Sinner is the ATP Finals semi-finalist! World no. 1 completed the round-robin stage in Turin with a 3-0 score, defeating Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-4 to sail into the last four.
