November 18, 2021 Jannik Sinner's adventure at the ATP Finals in Turin ends with a narrow defeat against Daniil Medvedev.

The blue player lost in three sets, with a score of 6-0 6-7 7-6, coming within very few points of a prestigious win against the 25-year-old Russian.

Although access to the semifinals had already waned, due to Zverev's afternoon victory over Hurkacz, it was not a 'dead' match as there were 200 points at stake to strengthen one's position within the world top ten.



In two and a half hours, the match opened with a 6-0 for the Russian.

The second was won by Sinner 6-7.

The third set, also very close, went to world number two at the tie-break. 




Star cheer for Sinner 


The Pala Alpitour in Turin had given Jannik Sinner a star-like welcome. Applause, screams, tricolor flags, smartphones to catch the Italian champion relentlessly, who took over from his teammate Matteo Berrettini after his retirement. The Turin public supported him all the way. In addition to teammate Lorenzo Sonego, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri also attended the match, who on his arrival at Pala Alpitour was involved in a short photo session on the training ground, in the role of chair judge. During the day, a greeting ceremony was also held on the central court to the five players who ended their careers in 2021, Paolo Lorenzi, Steve Darcis, Martin Klizan, Julian Knowles and Viktor Troicki.
