With the turbo to tournament victory: Sinner celebrates in Val Gardena

Started as a favorite and impressively lived up to his role: Jannik Sinner won the final in Val Gardena on Sunday against the Austrian Sebastian Ofner (ATP 173) 60:6, 2:6 in just 4 minutes. The young shooting star didn't give up a single sentence throughout the week and celebrated his third Challenger victory this year after Bergamo and Lexington.

With his triumph, Sinner, who is still ranked 96th in the world rankings this week, will be credited with 80 points and will move up to 78th place in the rankings from Monday. Actually surreal when you consider that he was ranked 551st at the beginning of the year. This shows what a fantastic year the budding tennis star has had. Sinner is now number 6 in Italy and is only 6 positions behind Andreas Seppi in the world rankings, who will be in position 72 from Monday. Power outage and injury break Before the final began, there was a power outage in Val Gardena, which meant the match started a good 20 minutes late. Sinner didn't let this deter him and pushed hard from the start. In the first set he took serve from Sebastian Ofner twice and converted the first set point to make it 2-26 after just 6 minutes.

Things were a little tighter in the second set, which also started late. But this time because Ofner apparently had problems with his lower leg and sought treatment. At first Sinner set the tone and promptly took over the service from the 173rd in the world. The Sesto native only weakened once when he gave up his serve in the fourth game. In the ninth game, the 18-year-old struck back, took advantage of the break chance to make it 5:4 and then confidently served his own serve. Now you get your driver's license With that, the tournament victory was wrapped up in dry cloths - and Jannik Sinner's dream year was crowned. After the strenuous last few weeks, the shooting star will now go on vacation to his home in Sesto and, among other things, take the driving test. By the way, Sinner received prize money of 6190 euros for his tournament victory in Val Gardena.
