Tennis lesson taught by Sinner! The world leader humiliated Ruud and qualified for the final of the Tournament of Champions

Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner humiliated Norway’s Casper Ruud in the semi-finals of the Tournament of Champions, qualifying in the last act.

The leader of the world ranking prevailed with a sec 6-1, 6-2, obtaining the clearest victory in the four direct matches.

Sinner taught Ruud a real tennis lesson

Constantly encouraged by all those who filled the Inalpi Arena in Turin to the brim, the Italian Jannik Sinner qualified, for the second time in a row, in the final of the Tournament of Champions. Last year, he was defeated in the last act by the Serbian Novak Djokovic 3-6, 3-6, after winning the group in three sets, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (2).

With a good morale due to the three victories in as many previous matches with the Norwegian, Sinner an incredible record was coming to this match of 73 wins in 2024. The last time he lost was on October 2, in the final in Beijing, to Carlos Alcaraz.

With a very aggressive game, the 23-year-old became the youngest player since Lleyton Hewitt in 2002 to play in his second consecutive Champions Tour final. At the time, the Australian was 20 years old.

In the doubles final, Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz are their opponents against Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic.

This season, Sinner has won seven trophies, and to add one more to his record, he has to defeat the American Taylor Fritz. The two met at this year’s edition of the competition in Turin, in the “Ilie Năstase” Group, when the Italian prevailed with a double 6-4 at the end of a match in which he never lost his serve.

The top favorite at the Tournament of Champions is the first player since Novak Djokovic in 2018 to reach the final act without dropping a set. The Serbian, a seven-time champion, a record in the history of the race, did not participate this year due to medical problems.

twelve months ago Sinner was defeated by Djokovic in the final in Turin. Since then, he has won titles at the Australian Open, Rotterdam, Miami, Halle, Cincinnati, US Open and Shanghai and became the first Italian in history to climb to No. 1 in the ATP rankings.

The finalists are also known in the doubles competition. On either side of the net will be the first and last pair of favorites in Turin. Germany’s Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz (cs 8) fight for the trophy with Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic (El Salvador, Croatia; cs 1), after beating them 6-3, 6-4 in the Bob Bryan Group.

In the semifinals, the Germans got past Australians Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson (cs 5) 2-6, 6-3, 11-9, and Arevalo and Pavis eliminated Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten (Finland, Great Britain; cs 7) by 7-6 (1), 7-6 (4).
