Jannik Sinner vs Alex De Minaur preview
Top seed Jannik Sinner will take on Alex De Minaur in the first group-stage match of the ATP Finals.
Sinner has been the standout performer on the men's tour this year. He's added seven titles to his locker, including two majors and three Masters 1000 events on tour. He's been the last man standing in Melbourne, Rotterdam, Miami, Halle, Cincinnati, New York, and Shanghai.
The Italian hardly put a foot wrong in Shanghai this year. He outfoxed the likes of Ben Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, and Tomas Machac en route to the final and then showed his class against Novak Djokovic to lift the title. The 23-year-old defeated Djokovic in straight sets, 7-6(4), 6-3.
Meanwhile, Alex De Minaur, has also raised his level on the ATP tour. He's chalked up 47 wins from 63 matches, including title-winning runs in Acapulco and Rosmalen. He also reached the quarterfinals in Paris, Wimbledon and New York, where he lost to Jack Draper in straight sets.
The Australian will enter Turin on the back of a promising run in Bercy. He defeated the likes of Miomir Kecmanovic and Jack Draper en route to the last eight, but couldn't make his mark against Holger Rune. The Dane edged past him in a thrilling three-set bout, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.

Jannik Sinner vs Alex De Minaur prediction
Jannik Sinner is set to finish the year at the top of the ATP Rankings. He's raised the bar for his peers on tour and seems to be in complete control of his game. The Italian is the favorite to win against most competitors on tour and will hope to capture his eighth title in Turin.
De Minuar, on the contrary, has balanced his season relly well this year. Consistent performances across the globe suggest that he's close to garnering a strong result soon. The Australian is making his debut at the ATP Finals this year and will be keen to put on a good show next week.
De Minaur will be aware that a relentless barrage of groundstrokes will be on the cards in his first match against Sinner. If he manages to disrupt the Italian's rhythm, he could have a say in this bout. However, it is most likely that the top seed continues his purple patch in the first match and begins with a commanding win at the ATP Finals.
Pick: Sinner to win in straight sets.
