Jannik Sinner swept aside Alex de Minaur to secure his third consecutive appearance in the ATP Finals final.
Sinner’s record-breaking ATP Finals run has seen him defeat Ben Shelton, Alexander Zverev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and now de Minaur.
The Italian is yet to have his serve broken and he has not lost at his home tournament since losing to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 final.
Despite his ridiculous record at the tournament, Tim Henman expressed a worry for Sinner while watching him from courtside in Turin.
Tim Henman was concerned about Jannik Sinner in the first set
Sinner was given a game by de Minaur in the first set, where he had multiple chances to break the Italian’s serve.
The Australian ended up losing the set 7-5, but de Minaur matched Sinner blow for blow in the opening stages.
It led to Henman sharing a concern for the world number two’s fitness while on commentary duty for Sky Sports Tennis.
He said: “I was just watching him in between points, and it is quite a slow walk. He was breathing pretty heavily. There have been some long rallies, but we’re only 39 minutes into the match.
“I just wonder about Sinner’s physicality, whether he’s feeling a little bit jaded toward the end of the season. Then you start looking at his body language, I think he’s a little frustrated.
“He’s had opportunities, I think de Minaur’s done a very, very good job of holding onto his serve.”
Sinner bounced back from his physical issues by taking seven games in a row against de Minaur to stake a stranglehold on the competition.
The world number two will play the winner of Auger-Aliassime and Carlos Alcaraz in the final.
Jannik Sinner joins Roger Federer and Ivan Lendl in elite list
Sinner is gearing up for his third consecutive ATP Finals final and it’s earned him a spot on an exclusive list.
The world number two has become just the third player under the age of 25 to reach three ATP Finals finals, according to OptaAce.
Roger Federer and Ivan Lendl were previously the only two players to achieve the feat at the year-end tournament.
Lendl hit the milestone between 1985 and 1987 when the tournament was hosted at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Federer, meanwhile, achieved the feat between 2003 and 2005 between Houston, Texas and Shanghai, China.
Lendl won the tournament five times, while Federer lifted the trophy six times, so Sinner is in very fine company.
