The match ended 7-5, 6-7(5), 7-6(2), lasting three hours and nine minutes, and showcased Sinner’s incredible composure and skill.
Sinner’s performance put him in command of the Green Group, although his qualification for the knockout semi-final stage is not yet guaranteed. The Italian rising star displayed lightning-fast play in the decisive tie-break, winning five consecutive points and leaving Djokovic with no answers.
Sinner had an impressive start to the match, breaking Djokovic from 40/0 and securing the opening set with nine consecutive points. While Djokovic fought back valiantly throughout the contest, he couldn’t match Sinner’s brilliance in the crucial moments.
In the third set, Sinner led 4-2, only to be pegged back by Djokovic. However, Sinner’s performance in the tie-break was impeccable, earning him a well-deserved victory. This win ended Djokovic’s 19-match winning streak, making it Sinner’s career-best season with 59 match wins.
Sinner’s remarkable season includes a 10-5 record against the Top 10 and a 15-1 indoor record for 2023. His impressive victory against Djokovic further solidified his status as one of tennis’s rising stars.
Djokovic, acknowledging Sinner’s brilliance, admitted, “He deserved to win because in important moments I wasn’t aggressive enough, I wasn’t decisive enough. I gave him the opportunity to take control over the points.”
Sinner’s tactical brilliance and composure in high-pressure moments earned him a victory that he will undoubtedly cherish in his burgeoning career.
