TORONTO (AP) — Australia’s Alex de Minaur beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain 6-1, 6-3 on Saturday to meet Jannik Sinner of Italy in the final of the Toronto Open.
“I just told myself that no matter what happens, I was going to compete at every point,” De Minaur said. “I stay positive and I don’t get frustrated by how the game is going. And I’m just going to give myself the best chance to stay mentally solid. I think that was probably what gave me the win.”
Sinner defeated 12th-seeded American Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-4 in the night semifinal.
“I’m happy with the way I reacted to every situation on the court,” Sinner said. “He played very well. He is a very nice guy. He makes me happy to be back in the final. Hopefully he can show some good tennis tomorrow.”
On Friday, De Minaur upset Russian Daniil Medvedev (2nd seed). The Australian was crowned in March in Acapulco to reach his seventh title on the ATP Tour, beating Paul in the final.
Sinner also has seven titles on tour. In February, she was crowned in Montpellier.
