Miami Open: 19-YO Italian Jannik Sinner Advances To Final

194

Miami: Italian teen Jannik Sinner has reached the finals of the Miami Open after he rallied past Spanish seventh seed Roberto Bautista Agut on Friday.

With this, Jannik Sinner became the fourth teenager to reach the Miami men’s final.

Sinner defeated Bautista 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 to become only the fourth teen to reach the men’s final in the 36-year history of the ATP Miami Masters.

Sinner, 19 and playing only his third Masters 1000, joined 1990 champion Andre Agassi, 2005 runner-up Rafael Nadal and 2007 winner Novak Djokovic as Miami teen finalists.

Sinner took his eighth career triumph over a top-20 rival and ensured he will rise into the ATP’s top 25 next week, although he nearly smashed a racquet in a tense second set.

Sinner will meet Hubert Hurkacz in the final.
