TURIN, Italy — Cheered on by a raucous home crowd, Jannik Sinner<\/a> recorded his first win over top-ranked Novak Djokovic<\/a> at the ATP Finals.<\/p>\n

Sinner, 22, triumphed 7-5, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (2) in a match spanning more than three hours on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

It was Sinner’s first win over Djokovic in four meetings, and it ended the Serbian player’s 19-match winning streak that stretched back to his five-set loss to Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in the Wimbledon final.<\/p>\n

Sinner sealed the result when he hammered down a smash at the net to send the Turin arena into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

The umpire had to tell the fans to be quiet several times as they fervently cheered their idol on and also booed Djokovic several times.<\/p>\n

Djokovic, 36, who normally enjoys huge support in Italy, lapped up the boos and even encouraged the fans to up their hostility toward him.<\/p>\n

Sinner, who beat Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/a> 6-4, 6-4 in Sunday’s opener, is now on the verge of reaching Saturday’s semifinals. He next plays Holger Rune<\/a>, who has one win after Tsitsipas retired early in their green group match and withdrew from the tournament<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Djokovic, who is looking to break a tie with Federer and capture a record seventh title at the tour finals, will play first alternate Hubert Hurkacz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
