The world No. 2 Italian will meet Alexander Zverev in the championship match taking place on the evening of October 26 (Vietnam time).
Right from the start of the match, Sinner showed his confidence and excellent situation-reading ability. He quickly broke the opponent's serve game to lead 3-1, making the most of the heavy forehands and high swings that made it difficult for De Minaur to defend. The first set ended with a score of 6-3 in favor of Sinner after 41 minutes of play.
In the second set, De Minaur tried to change tactics by pushing the ball deeper and moving more flexibly, but Sinner still maintained incredible stability. The world No. 2 took advantage of his opponent's mistake in the hill game to win the decisive break, ending the match after 1 hour and 36 minutes.
With this victory, Sinner became the first player since Novak Djokovic (in 2015-2016) to feature in at least 8 ATP finals in 2 consecutive seasons. The achievement at Vienna is also particularly impressive as he has won 16 out of 20 matches, not losing a set in this year's tournament.
Alex is a very tough opponent, always playing with great energy. I have to maintain my focus on each point. Being in the Vienna final was great, Sinner shared after the match.
In 2025, Sinner will own three major trophies at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the China Open. If he continues to beat Zverev in the final, he will have his fourth title of the year and take another step forward in the race for the world No. 1 title with Carlos Alcaraz.
