Jannik Sinner completed his dominant journey at the 2023 Montpellier Open with a final victory over Maxime Cressy.
Early at the ATP 250 event in France, the young Italian got a bit lucky as his second-round opponent, Marton Fucsovics, withdrew from the event and so Sinner could start the tournament in quarterfinals.
He then defeated compatriot Lorenzo Sonego and French prodigy Arthur Fils to book the final spot. And seemed that it will be a battle of the two highest-seeded players at the 2023 Montpellier Open in the final, but Maxime Cressy stunned Holger Rune and he faced off against world no. 17 in the final.
Probably no one in the crowd was surprised that the first set reached a tie-break. Both players had break points, but none of them could use their chances and so a tie-break had to decide the first set.
Sinner saved all of his firepower for this crucial game, and won it 7-3 to keep his perfect score in Montpellier, as he was yet to drop a set.
In the second set, Sinner managed to break his opponent and then nothing could stop him from winning 7-6(3), 6-3 in an hour and 36 minutes and lifting his first trophy of the 2023 season.
