  • Sinner gained the edge by dictating rallies with his forehand, thereby earning an early service break.

    He played well under pressure and claimed the first set with his fourth ace of the match.

    However, Pospisil squared it up in the second set, making the most of Sinner's errors.

    In a close final set, Sinner fought with aggression and eventually won the tie-break 7-3.

    He claimed three wins against Top 10 players in 2020, finishing the year with a 19-11 record.

    As a result of this title win, Sinner will enter the Top 40 of ATP Rankings for the first time (at number 37) on Monday.

    'Always special when you win such tournaments', says Sinner

  • Speaking on the victory, Sinner said, "It is always special when you win tournaments. I felt well this week. Playing finals like this, 7-6 is always tough."

    "But when you win, it is an even better win than winning 6-1, 6-1. I am happy how I tried to stay there every point and I think it's a very special week for me," he added.
