Triumph for Jannik Sinner , who wins the "National Bank Open" on hard courts in Toronto , the sixth ATP Masters 1000 tournament of the season (with a prize pool of 6,660,975 dollars) beating the Australian Alex De Minaur 6-4 6-1 in the final in an hour and 20 minutes of play.

For Sinner it is the first success of his career in a "1000" , and the second of an Italian after that of Fabio Fognini in 2019 in Montecarlo.

The Italian tennis player thus rises to No. 6 in the world rankings .

«For me this success means a lot - the first words from Toronto -. It's a great result that I share with all the people who are close to me every day, with my team. Not everyone is here, but I hope those who aren't here are watching me. We worked hard and these results make us feel good and make us feel stronger, also making us want to work even harder».

«I liked how I handled this situation - Sinner continues -, facing each opponent with the right attitude. I don't deny I felt the pressure, but I think I handled it well trying to play point to point and treating everyone with the right respect on the pitch."

« This tournament will always remain in my heart , I want to share this joy with you», concluded Sinner addressing the audience.
