Jannik Sinner confirmed his favoritism and guaranteed a place in the final of the Masters 1000 in Madrid. The world’s top 1 beat Frenchman Arthur Fils (25th) by 2 sets to 0, this Friday (1st), in a semi-final match. The partials were 6/1 and 6/4.
The first set was peaceful, with the Italian largely dominating. In the second half, the athletes confirmed their services until the ninth game, when the break came. In the next game, Sinner had no difficulty closing the game.
With the result, Jannik Sinner will face Alexander Zverev (top 3) or Alexander Blockx (69th), who will face each other in the subsequent match on the Manolo Santana court, the main court of the Spanish tournament.
Top 1 sinner in the world
Jannik Sinner can further increase his advantage in the top 1 of the ATP rankings. The Italian returned to the lead after beating Carlos Alcaraz in the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 final.
At the moment, Sinner has 13,350 points, and with the Spaniard injured – who will even miss Roland Garros – he could finish the clay tour with a large number of points ahead of his biggest rival.
