This is the third final in his career for the 19-year-old South Tyrolean (the two previous ones in Sofia and Melbourne, both won), but the first in such an important tournament. Sinner is the second Italian to play the final of a Masters, in 2019 Fognini – also on Easter day – triumphed in Monte Carlo. There are no precedents with Hurkacz, but the two know each other well because they often make pairs in doubles. At 19 years and 231 days, Sinner, if he wins, could become the youngest winner in the history of the tournament, overtaking Djokovic who in 2007 won at 19 years and 316 days.Sinner-Hurkacz 0-2* – Sinner-Hurkacz 6-6* –
