Jannik Sinner’s performance against Ruud was simply outstanding. The Italian once again proved that he is a cut above the rest.

Despite his efforts, Ruud could not prevent the local favorite from triumphing in front of his home crowd. With this victory, Sinner maintained his perfect record in the tournament and advanced to his second consecutive ATP Finals championship match, where he seeks redemption after last year’s loss to Novak Djokovic.

The match, which lasted just 1 hour and 9 minutes, highlighted Sinner’s dominance.

The first set was a one-sided affair, with Sinner dismantling his opponent right from the start. He broke Ruud’s serve in the opening game and raced to a 3-0 lead within 11 minutes.

In under 30 minutes, the set was sealed, offering a brief but spectacular display of Sinner’s technical brilliance, which exposed the gap in skill between the two players.

The second set followed a similar pattern. Although Ruud managed a slight advantage at 30-0 on Sinner’s serve, the Italian quickly neutralized it with an ace and a cross-court forehand.

From there, the match returned to equilibrium, leaving Ruud visibly frustrated and out of answers to counter Sinner’s superiority.

Now, Sinner faces his final hurdle: Taylor Fritz, the same opponent he defeated in the US Open final. This title, which seems almost inevitable for the Italian this year, would officially crown him as the ‘Master.’
