The Final match of Canadian Open 2023 between Jannik Sinner and Alex De Minaur will take place on August 14.
Jannik Sinner impressively secured a straight-set victory over Tommy Paul in the semifinals, managing the pressure well after other contenders were eliminated. Although Alex de Minaur presents a strong case, Sinner’s consistent Masters performances this year make him equally deserving. He faced challenges in prior semifinals, notably against Alcaraz and Medvedev. Sinner’s advantageous position in the Toronto Masters final is attributed to fewer matches and less court time this week compared to de Minaur. Despite recent defeats against Medvedev, Sinner’s commendable 8-3 record in title-deciding matches, mostly at the Masters level, is notable. Notably, two of the three losses occurred in Masters tournaments.
Alex de Minaur’s recent opponents—Taylor Fritz, Daniil Medvedev, and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina—have struggled against his varied skillset, resulting in 64 unforced errors collectively. He mounted comebacks against Fritz and Medvedev and dominated Davidovich Fokina in the semifinals. Despite prior criticism for significant match setbacks, de Minaur has shown improvement in the last eight months. His path to the finals featured challenging matches against top 10, top 20, and top 40 players, including local talent Gabriel Diallo. Aiming for his most significant career title, he holds a 7-8 record in championship matches. Being the first Australian in 22 years to reach the Canadian Masters final, de Minaur seeks to become the first Australian Masters champion since 2003, boosting his chances of breaking into the top 10 rankings.

In their previous encounters, Jannik Sinner holds a 4-0 lead over Alex de Minaur, winning 10 out of 11 sets. Just like in their recent match in Los Cabos, de Minaur lacks the diverse skills required to match a top-level opponent, making him the underdog once again. However, considering Sinner’s history, there’s a chance his physical condition might deteriorate as the match progresses and intensifies. In such circumstances, de Minaur has the potential to gain an advantage if he can extend the match to its full duration.
