Sinner, who won 6-3, 6-4, will play either Lorenzo Musetti or Alexander Zverev in the Vienna Open final.

Sinner, who recently won the Six Kings Slam, will hope to capture a fourth ATP Tour title of 2025 on Sunday, following successes at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the China Open.

Jannik Sinner has reached eight or more ATP Tour finals in consecutive years

In 2024, Sinner reached the final of nine ATP Tour events: the Australian Open, Rotterdam Open, Miami Open, Terra Wortmann Open, Cincinnati Open, US Open, China Open, Shanghai Masters and ATP Finals.

So far in 2025, Sinner has made the final of eight tournaments: the Australian Open, Italian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, Cincinnati Open, US Open, China Open and Vienna Open.
