Sinner Outlasts Zverev To Reach Final Of Cincinnati Open
The Italian World No: The Italian World No. 1 Jannik Sinner fought through physical discomfort and a rain delay to edge past the 2021 champion Alexander Zverev 7-6(9), 5-7, 7-6(4), earning a spot in Monday’s final against American favourite Frances Tiafoe at the Cincinnati Open.
Battling hip pain that had plagued Sinner recently, the top seed was seen limping at times and favouring his injured side. Yet, despite the setbacks, Sinner delivered jaw-dropping shotmaking to outmaneuver Zverev in a grueling three-hour, seven-minute contest. Sinner came from behind to win the decisive third-set tie-break.
“Sometimes you have to play a bit with gut feeling, and today, that was my strength,” Sinner shared during his on-court interview. “There were some ups and downs, which can happen when you play for more than three hours. He served very, very well, so I can be very proud.”
