Sinner, appearing in his third Masters 1000 final after runner-up efforts at the Miami Open in 2021 and this year, broke De Minaur five times and saved two of four break points to lift the biggest title of his career.
I was a break up a couple times and he broke back but I tried to stay calm mentally.
I was prepared for a long battle," Sinner, the first Italian to win the event, said during his on-court interview.
