Jannik Sinner ended this season with another win, helping Italy win its first Davis Cup trophy in 47 years.
Sinner failed to give the Italian crowd the trophy in Turin last week, but he has redeemed himself spectacularly this week. He proved to be the hero of his country in their run to the Davis Cup trophy, winning singles and doubles matches all week long.
His win over Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals was huge, and he followed up with some doubles heroics. In the final, he was able to produce another exceptional performance against Alex de Minaur, sealing the win for his country by delivering the crucial second point.
It was a fabulous match from Sinner, who had an easy job after Matteo Arnaldi secured the first point. As good as de Minaur is, his H2H against the Italian before this match showed 0-5.
Sinner didn't allow any miracles to happen as he won the opening set 6-4 behind the super-aggressive play that saw him hit four aces and 16 winners. De Minaur tried his best, but he couldn't really summon the necessary level to win the match, even though he didn't play badly.
The second set saw Sinner jump out to an early lead as well, and from there, it was a rather simple cruise to the finish line for the home hero. The Italian was just mercilessly bombarding from the baseline, and de Minaur couldn't do anything to counter that.
The final score was 6-4, 6-0 for Sinner, who finished with an impressive stat line of five aces, 35 winners, and ten unforced errors. It was a huge win for Sinner, who gave his nation the trophy after a heroic week.
It is Italy's first Davis Cup in 47 years, but it was also another exceptional performance from Sinner, leaving fans excited about what's to come next year. He's arrived, and he will be a problem for the rest of the Tour.
