The world No 1 became the first Italian to claim the season-ending title, in front of his home fans in Turin, with a commanding 6-4, 6-4 win

The players haven’t arrived on court yet but there’s already been a spine-tingling moment with Virginia Bocelli, the 12-year-old daughter of the Italian great Andrea Boccelli, signing a rousing version of You Raise Me Up. Sinner and Fritz should be out in a few minutes.

Fritz says:

I trust my game and I trust my level. I don’t feel anywhere near as uncomfortable in these situations any more because I’ve been putting myself in these situations against the top guys at big events a lot lately. I’m really confident in my game.

The US Open final felt like I was kind of just trying to keep myself in with my serve, stay alive, win points by hitting big shots or playing off of his errors. Kind of just like not repeatable, consistent ways to win points.
