Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev and now also Jannik Sinner. These are the names of the players who have secured four titles on the men's tour during the current season. The South Tyrolean achieved his most recent triumph at the ATP 250 tournament in Antwerp, and on Sunday he gave Diego Schwartzman no chance in the final.
Sinner only needed 75 minutes against the Argentine to achieve the completely harmless 6: 2 and 6: 2 success. Schwartzman didn't break a single break in the entire match and had to serve four times.
In any case, Sinner showed his best tennis in Antwerp for the entire week. The 20-year-old didn't drop a single sentence on the way to winning the title. In the next week, Sinner will serve in Vienna - and could draw level with a tournament victory with Casper Ruud, who has won five titles so far this season.
At the event taking place in Moscow at the same time, Aslan Karatsev prevailed.
