Italian world number one Jannik Sinner beats American Taylor Fritz in straight sets to win his first ATP Finals title in Turin.

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner added another big title to his tremendous year by beating U.S. Open runner-up Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 for the ATP Finals trophy before his home fans and before a final verdict is reached in his doping case.
