After two and a half hours of battle, Jannik Sinner won the ATP 500 Vienna title, defeating Alexander Zverev 3-6, 6-3, 7-5. It was the Italian's twenty-second career trophy, coming at the end of an intense and hard-fought point-for-point match. In the first set, the German dominated from the baseline, with more precise and incisive shots, while Sinner struggled to find depth and consistency. However, from the second set on, the Italian number one switched gears, demonstrating remarkable tactical maturity and diversifying his style with drop shots and more innovative solutions, breaking his opponent's supremacy. The third set was a long nerve-racking battle until Sinner's crucial break in the last minutes, which opened the path to victory. Sinner's victory in Vienna brings his season title total to four, following Beijing, Wimbledon, and the Australian Open, and extends his streak to 21 consecutive wins on indoor hard courts.
