For the second time in less than a week, the Yannick Sinner bent him Novak Djokovic (6-2, 6-7 (0), 6-4) and will claim on Saturday (19/10) the title in Six Kings Slam opposite to Rafa Nadal or him Carlos Alcarath.
The match may have been friendly, but both gave it their all, in a match that lasted 2.5 hours. The first set was a continuation of the meeting of the two in its final Shanghai Masters on Sunday (13/10), where Shiner cruised to the title relatively easily.
The Italian started impressively, leading 3-0 and breaking Djokovic twice for a 6-2 first set final. Its main problem Djokovicas happened in her match Shanghaiwas finding it difficult to match the pace that Shiner was giving from the base line.
THE Nole however he moved up to second and broke with… good morning. The 23-year-old quickly managed to come back (2-2), with the set leading to bye break. There o Djokovic he was imposing and took it without even losing a point!
The third set was also the most exciting with both players constantly breaking the opponent’s serve. The one who was calmer was the Italian, who at 5-4 took over to serve and did so with complete success, proving how good he is at the critical points of the game and qualified for the final.
