The final four in Turin are set, with Jannik Sinner, winner of the Bjorn Borg group, taking on Alex de Minaur, runner-up in the Jimmy Connors group, in the first semifinal.<\/p>\n
The Italian has not only gone unbeaten in the round-robin stage but is riding a historic 29-match winning streak on indoor hard courts. de Minaur, meanwhile, advanced with a helping hand from Carlos Alcaraz, qualifying for the semifinals despite a 1\u20132 showing in the round-robin stage. Here is your complete match guide.<\/p>\n
These two have already met a dozen times despite both being under 27, and the rivalry has been one-way traffic. Jannik Sinner leads their head-to-head 12\u20130, making it one of the most lopsided matchups in ATP history. The Italian again enters as the clear favourite, though, as tennis reminds us time and again, anything can happen on the day.<\/p>\n
Sinner has been at his very best this week, winning all three round-robin matches in straight sets, each against some of the biggest servers on tour. His level on hard courts throughout 2025 has been exceptional, losing just one completed match all season. While he narrowly missed out on the year-end No.1 to Carlos Alcaraz, this week has felt like a celebration of Sinner\u2019s dominance in front of his home fans.<\/p>\n
de Minaur has endured a rollercoaster week, both physically and mentally. In his opener, he had the first set on his racket against Alcaraz but couldn\u2019t convert, losing in straight sets. His second outing was even tougher: a third-set lead and a chance to serve out the match slipped away. Everything shifted on Thursday, when he delivered arguably his best performance of the year to beat Taylor Fritz in straight sets, before ultimately sneaking into the semifinals thanks to Alcaraz\u2019s victory over Lorenzo Musetti.<\/p>\n
