Sinner won this trophy after defeating Grigor Dimitrov, the 11th-seeded player from Bulgaria, 6-3, 6-1. The match lasted one hour and thirteen minutes.
With this victory, the Italian tennis player became the highest-ranked Italian tennis player and achieved his career-best ATP singles ranking of No. 2.
