Several tennis fans were elated to witness Jannik Sinner win his first Masters 1000 title at the Canadian Open.
Sinner defeated Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-1 in one hour and 30 minutes to secure the title in Toronto on Sunday. With the win, he joined Fabio Fognini (who had previously claimed title victory at the Monte-Carlo Masters in 2019) to become the second Italian to clinch a Masters 1000 title since the inception of the series back in 1990.
The 21-year-old had previously lost two Masters 1000 title matches - in Miami in 2021 and 2023. However, this time, Sinner ensured that he would not lose the final again against de Minaur. He managed to break the Australian's serve five times, ultimately securing the title.
