Jannik Sinner fought back to beat Alexander Zverev 3-6 6-3 7-5 in the Vienna Open final on Sunday afternoon (October 26) and become a two-time champion at the ATP 500 event.
This marks the Italian’s 22nd title win at ATP Tour-level and his fourth of 2025, after wins at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and more recently, Beijing Open.
He was also triumphant at the Six Kings Slam exhibition event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, days prior to participating in Vienna.
The 24-year-old was in fine form heading into the final in the Austrian capital, not dropping a single set in his opening four matches at the indoor event.
Zverev’s service break in the fourth game of the opening set to go up 3-1 indicated that Sinner would need to find another gear to take home the trophy.
The World No. 2 was able to find the decisive break at the first opportunity in the second set, but had to wait until late-on in a closely-contested deciding set to break his German opponent.
Zverev saved two break points in the fifth game of the decider, but Sinner eventually found the break to go up 6-5, before serving out to wrap up the two-and-a-half-hour contest and claim the title.

Sunday’s comeback victory over Zverev displayed how formidable Sinner is at indoor hardcourt events, with it being his 21st consecutive win on the surface.
The impressive record goes back to the 2023 season and also includes titles won in Rotterdam, the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup Finals.
With this latest indoor win under his belt, Sinner has surpassed Andy Murray’s streak of 20 successive wins between 2016 and 2019 on the surface.
The Italian will look to continue his impressive indoor streak at this week’s Paris Masters event, which he will be looking to win for the first time in his career.
After participating at the final ATP 1000 event of the year, Sinner will then prepare to defend his ATP Finals title when the year-end event begins on November 9 in Turin.
