Sinner causes Turin to explode: a bombshell report sends Auger-Aliassime into submission.

Jannik Sinner had a good debut at the ATP Finals in Turin. The defending champion defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-5, 6-1, in a sold-out Inalpi Arena, swept along by the enthusiasm of the Italian crowd. The match started evenly, with intense rallies and a blistering pace, but the Italian then took control thanks to a virtually uncatchable serve and a clean play that made the difference.

The defining moment of the evening came at the end of the first set: Sinner hit a blistering serve, followed by a swift finish at the net that brought the stadium to a standstill. It was a turning point in the match. Shortly thereafter, Auger-Aliassime suffered a muscle strain in his left calf, gradually losing his incisiveness in rallies. Sinner, however, stepped up his game, controlling the play and accelerating when needed.

"Turin is a special place for me. The first set was very tough, then Felix had a small physical problem. I'm happy with how I started," Sinner said in the courtside interview.

With this victory, Sinner scores his 27th consecutive indoor victory , having not lost indoors since the 2023 ATP Finals final against Djokovic. This figure propels him into a statistic that has the air of history: in Open-era tennis, only John McEnroe has done better, with 47 wins.

The season in Turin has just begun, but the message is clear: Sinner is there. And he still wants the title.
