Jannik Sinner also tops the TV ratings. His opening match at the ATP Finals last night was watched by 3.2 million viewers, with a 14.7% share, across Raidue and Sky. That’s a top-three audience rating for prime time television, trailing only the drama “Commissario Ricciardi” on Raiuno (21.2%) and “Big Brother” on Canale 5 (15%) . And this was just the first match, which actually lasted 55 minutes, until Auger-Aliassime injured his left calf and then struggled to finish the match.

Specifically, on Raidue, the match drew an audience of 2.3 million, with a 10.6% share. Sky, which holds the full rights to the Finals, attracted an average total audience of 908,000 pay-TV viewers (including viewings on big screens and Sky Go), with 1.8 million unique viewers and a 4.1% share.
