World No 1 Jannik Sinner clinched the first ATP Tour title on grass of his career, beating Hubert Hurkacz in a very tight Halle Open final 7-6 7-6; In the women’s Berlin Open, the USA’s Jessica Pegula beat Coco Gauff in the semis and then Anna Kalinskaya in the final
Italy’s Jannik Sinner won his first grasscourt title by edging his doubles partner Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 7-6 in the Halle Open final on Sunday. The win marks the 22-year-old Australian Open champion’s 14th singles career title.
Sinner also congratulated fifth seed Hurkacz, who won the Halle Open in 2022, for reaching another final.
Neither player could break serve and both sets went to tiebreaks in which top seed Sinner prevailed against the fifth-seeded Pole.
The first of those tiebreaks unusually stretched to 10-8 in Sinner’s favour, with the second seeing the Italian clinch the match via a more straightforward 7-2 tiebreak success.
