Sinner delivered a solid performance from start to finish, especially in the first set, where he dominated clearly. Although the second set was more balanced, the Italian achieved the key break in the ninth game to lead his victory in one hour and 29 minutes. The San Cándido tennis player thus extended his winning streak and was one step away from making history, as he could become the first player to conquer five consecutive Masters 1,000 titles, after his recent successes in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo. Furthermore, Sinner achieved his 350th victory on the circuit and joined figures like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer by stringing together finals in the main tournaments of this category. His rival for the title will come from the match between the Belgian Alexander Blockx, revelation of the contest, and the German Alexander Zverev, two-time champion of the tournament. For his part, Fils, who came undefeated on clay this season, showed flashes of his potential despite the defeat and continues to consolidate as one of the promises of the circuit after overcoming a prolonged back injury.
