The 19-year-old South Tyrolean became the third youngest winner in Washington. It was his third tournament victory.
Tennis talent Jannik Sinner from Italy won the $ 1.895 million ATP tournament in Washington and thus celebrated the greatest success of his career to date. The 19-year-old South Tyrolean defeated the American Mackenzie McDonald in the final on Sunday (local time) with 7: 5.4: 6.7: 5. Sinner is the third youngest winner in Washington after the former US Open champions Andy Roddick from the USA and Juan Martin Del Potro from Argentina.
Sinner was initially unable to use ten set balls in the first round and missed two match points in the decisive set with a 5-2 lead, before finally making the success perfect after 2:53 hours. “To be honest, I think there is still a lot of work to be done. I can learn a lot from today,” said Sinner after his third tournament victory.
Meanwhile, Danielle Collins won the WTA tournament in San Jose. The American defeated the Russian Daria Kasatkina in three sets with 6: 3,6: 7 (10), 6: 1 in the final. For Collins it is the second tournament victory in a row after their triumph in Palermo at the end of July.
