ATP Next Gen Finals, Alex De Minaur - Jannik Sinner

PokerioSchool.com
As the season draws to a close, the ATP Young Talent Finals are also coming to a close. Today's final match will be between Australia's Alex De Minaur, who has been in good form throughout the season and has been steadily climbing up the rankings, and Italy's Jannik Sinner, who has been playing impressively in the last month alone, and who has unexpectedly made it to the final round.

Alex De Minaur

De Minaur is dominating this tournament: he remains the only player in this tournament who has not lost a set, and he has done so by dropping just 3 sets in 4 matches played. The toughest match the Australian had to play was the semi-final against Tiafoe, where he was 2-0 up in the 3rd set, but recovered in the 4th set to celebrate his victory. In that match, De Minaur won 40% points after the American's serve, which is an incredibly high number and shows how good the Australian is defensively. Alex also made the most of his break opportunities, taking advantage of all 4 chances to win the opponent's serve. Considering how strong the Aussie has looked throughout the season and how dominant he looks in this tournament, he is the clear favourite to win this tournament.

Jannik Sinner

The Italian is also playing a good tournament, but he hasn't been as dominant as today's opponent this season. Sinner reached the final after a tough 4-set battle with Serbia's M. Kecmanovic. Although the Italian started the match badly and lost the first set, he recovered in the next set to win the match 3-1. The Italian's first serve percentage was also impressive in that match, reaching 70% and allowing him to win even 90% points after the first serve. Anyway, today will be the toughest match of the tournament and the Italian will have to show much more than he did in the previous matches to win.

Mutual history

These young players have never played against each other in an official ATP match and this will be their first time.

Forecast

For the Italian, Sinner will definitely have the support of the crowd as the match will be held in Italy. This may help to win more points than otherwise expected, but given how unstoppable the Australian looks, the spectators will probably be disappointed. De Minaur is a much stronger player these days and should prove just that tonight by winning one of the most important titles of the season.
