Sinner is in the final of the Washington Open

Sinner is merciless. After making short work of the previous three rounds and always moving into the next round with a two-set win, the young Sesto native faced local hero Jenson Brooksby on Saturday, whom he defeated 7:6 (2), 6:1. Sinner went into the race as the clear favorite against number 130 in the ATP rankings. But it wasn't just the numbers that spoke for the South Tyrolean tennis ace: Since his first double success alongside Reilly Opelka in Atlanta Sinner seemed as if he had been changed, the lows of the past few months had been forgotten.

Despite the apparently clear conditions, Brooksby offered the man from Sexten a fight on equal terms. In the first set, the American even had a sniff of winning the set before Sinner pulled himself together and forced the tie-break. In the end he didn't let anything go wrong and won the all-important first sentence. Ice-cold Sinner with the next chance for the title The Sexten player started the second set furiously and was able to win the first game straight away. As a result, Sinner kept making small mistakes that cost him points but didn't have a major impact overall. This was mainly because Brooksby also made a few mistakes. The game really took a toll on the American, who was no longer able to match his performance from the first set.

Sinner took advantage of his opponent's weak phase and walked away cold. After the interim 1:1, he didn't give up any more games, which ultimately resulted in a deserved two-set win (7:6, 6:1). In the final of the Washington Open, Sinner will meet Mackenzie McDonald (26, ATP 107). There he can tackle his next title after his double success in Atlanta.
