St. Christina: First ITF final for Jannik Sinner

This meant that Sinner reached an ITF final for the first time in his career. But that wasn't enough: the young man from Sexten then won the doubles title together with Giacomo Dambrosi.

Sinner got off to a good start in the individual semifinals, taking the lead 5:3, but then had to admit defeat 4:7 in the tiebreak. The Puster player didn't give up and made the decisive break to make it 5:4 in the second half of the game when the score was 6:4. The third set was identical, where Sinner again took serve from his opponent at 5:4 and won 2:10 after 6:4 hours of play. With this victory and reaching the final, Sinner has already secured 10 ATP points, with which he will climb into the top 900 in the world rankings next week. If he wins the tournament, he would even reach a place in the top 800.

Final on Saturday at 11 a.m In the final on Saturday at 11 a.m., Sinner will face number 1 seeded German Peter Heller (ATP 393), who had more trouble than expected against Alexander Weis from Bolzano on Friday and narrowly lost 2:29 after 4:6 hours of play , 6:3, 6:4. In the third, decisive set, Weis led 4:3, but then lost three games in a row. The 21-year-old from Bolzano therefore missed his first ITF final, which would also have been the first final between two South Tyroleans. Despite the defeat, Weis can be quite satisfied with his tournament in Val Gardena because he put in a really strong performance.
