Italy’s Jannik Sinner swept past French veteran Gael Monfils to successfully defend his Sofia title on Sunday and boost his chances of reaching the ATP Finals.

“The level was high today,” said Sinner who will move into 10th place in the race for the eight-man Turin field.

“We had long, long rallies and it was physical as well. I am happy to be the winner here in Sofia again.

“It was the best match I have played this week because I had to.”
