The Italian ace defeated Vasek Pospisil of Canada 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (3) in the summit clash to win his first ATP title. This was Pospisil's first attempt to win the ATP finals too.&nbsp;

"It is a great feeling ending the year with a tournament win," said Sinner as per the ATP Tour website. "Now I think the hard work is going to start once more… I hope I am going to start even better next year than I did this year," he added.

Japan's Kei Nishikori was the last player to have lifted a tour-level trophy at a younger age than Sinner. Nishikori won his maiden ATP Tour title as an 18-year-old at the 2008 Delray Beach Open.

With a win in Sofia, Jannik marks an end to a memorable 2020 campaign during which he claimed three top 10 wins and finished the year with a 19-11 record. He has entered the top 40 of the ATP rankings on Monday after earning rank no. 37.&nbsp;
