Jannik Sinner faced little resistance en route to his maiden ATP Finals this year in Turin, Italy. Andy Roddick was mightily impressed by Sinner’s level at the tournament and was stunned to see him romp past every opponent.
Sinner was the top seed at the 2024 ATP Finals and came to the tournament having won 22 of his last 23 matches. The 22-year-old continued his stellar form in Turin, as he did not drop a set and never faced a severe threat from any of his opponents at the year-end championship. Sinner defeated Alex de Minaur (6-3, 6-4), Taylor Fritz (6-4, 6-4), and Daniil Medvedev (6-3, 6-4) in the group stage.
He then went on to better Casper Ruud in the semifinals 6-1, 6-2, and Fritz once again in the tournament’s final 6-4, 6-4. Sinner was a level above everyone else in Turin, and his ruthlessness drew plaudits from former ATP World No. 1 Roddick. On the latest episode of the “Served with Andy Roddick” podcast, the American shared his thoughts on the recently concluded ATP Finals and found it weird that the tournament did not see many close matches.

He continued, “Doing, checking his TC live and then checking his score lines, it’s the score lines that you used to drop on people when you were 16 playing like in your state tournaments. And if you were a really good junior, but like, and then kind of take that out and expand it to the best on earth with no two year age groups. What he’s done on hard courts this year is absurd.”
