Jannik Sinner will attempt to close out one of the greatest hard court seasons of this century with his first ATP Finals title on Sunday as he eased into the final in Turin with a devastating 6-1, 6-2 win over Casper Ruud.

The world No 1 will face Taylor Fritz, the fifth seed, after Fritz toppled Alexander Zverev in a tense, ­quality ­tussle to reach the final for the first time. In a bruising battle between two of the best servers in the world, Fritz held on to narrowly defeat Zverev 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (3). The ATP’s season-ending finale final will mark a rematch of the US Open final where Sinner dismantled Fritz in three sets to win his second grand-slam title.
