World number one Jannik Sinner on Sunday defeated Germany's Alexander Zverev in three sets 7-6 (11-9), 5-7, 7-6 in the semifinals of the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati to reach the final - becoming the first Italian player to achieve this result. The 23-year-old Italian had lost all four of his previous matches against Zverev but fought through a hip problem to advance to the final. Sinner will face US player Frances Tiafoe on Monday in hopes of winning his fifth ATP tour title this season. Source: Ansa News Agency
