Sinner Downs Ailing Auger-Aliassime To Begin ATP Finals Title Defense
Canadian Felix Auger: Home favourite Jannik Sinner made a confident start to his ATP Finals title defense with a 7-5, 6-1 opening victory against an injury-hampered Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime.
With his one-hour, 41-minute victory, Sinner improved to 1-0 in Bjorn Borg Group. The 24-year-old Italian is now on a 27-match winning streak indoors and has not dropped a set at the ATP Finals since his 2023 final defeat to Novak Djokovic, ATP reports.
With his win at Inalpi Arena, Sinner also kept alive his chances of pipping Carlos Alcaraz for ATP Year-End No. 1. The Italian trails his rival by 1,050 points in the Live Rankings, with Alcaraz having begun his ATP Finals campaign by defeating Alex de Minaur on Sunday afternoon.
