Sinner beats doubles partner for 1st title on grass

Italy's Jannik Sinner won his first grass-court title by edging his doubles partner Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 (8), 7-6 (2) in the Halle Open final in Halle, Germany, on Sunday.

The win marks the 22-year-old Australian Open champion's 14th career singles title.

Neither player could break serve, and both sets went to tiebreaks, where top seed Sinner prevailed against the fifth-seeded Pole.

World No. 1 Sinner is preparing for Wimbledon, where he reached the semifinals last year. The Grand Slam tournament starts on July 1.
