Jannik Sinner’s victory in the Canadian Open is his eighth ATP Tour title

Jannik Sinner claimed a straight-set victory against Alex de Minaur to win the Canadian Open in Toronto.

The Italian, 21, saw off De Minaur 6-4 6-1 in 90 minutes – including breaking the 24-year-old Australian’s serve on five occasions.

The pair have played on five occasions and Sinner has won every match.

“It means a lot. It is a great result. This result makes us feel good, stronger and hungry to work even harder in the future,” Sinner said.

It is Sinner’s first victory in an ATP Masters 1000 final, having lost his previous two in Miami in 2021 and 2023.

He added: “I am proud how I handled the situation. Every opponent here is tough to play against. I felt the pressure, but I think I handled it very well.”
