VIENNA: Top seed Jannik Sinner crushed Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday to reach the Vienna Open final for the second time, where he will face second seed Alexander Zverev for the title in a battle between two former champions.
Sinner’s dominant victory — his 50th over a fellow top-10 player — extended his streak to 20 consecutive wins on indoor hardcourts as he moved into his eighth final of the season.
Zverev, the 2021 champion, beat fourth seed Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 7-5, firing nine aces as he racked up his 300th hardcourt win and reached his first final since Stuttgart in June.
