Sinner Reaches Vienna Final, Extends Indoor Streak to 20, Sets Zverev Title Match

The result strengthens his year‑end No. 1 bid entering Paris before Turin.

Overview

  • Top seed Jannik Sinner beat Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4 to reach the Vienna Open final, improving to 12-0 in their head‑to‑head and remaining unbroken in sets this week.
  • By making his eighth final of 2025, Sinner became the first man to reach eight finals in back‑to‑back seasons since Novak Djokovic in 2015–16.
  • The victory pushed his indoor hard‑court winning run to 20 matches, and he had not faced a break point in Vienna until the semi‑final.
  • He will face Alexander Zverev for the title after the 2021 champion defeated Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 7-5.
  • Sinner has recently said his serve still needs work, and a social‑media post reported a brief time‑violation dispute with chair umpire Fergus Murphy, while criticism in Italy over his Davis Cup withdrawal has continued.
