Italy’s Jannik Sinner defeated Australia’s Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-1 on Sunday to win the National Bank Open for his first career Masters 1000 series title.
The seventh-seeded Sinner used his punishing ground strokes to great effect, forcing his unranked opponent to play defence for most of the match at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto.
Sinner closed out the opening set with a service break and kept the pressure on in the second set to close out the win in 89 minutes.
It was his second ATP Tour title of the season and he improved to 5-0 in head-to-head matchups against de Minaur.
