Sinner bid farewell to his fellow Northern Italian, who will hang up his racquets at the Ortisei Challenger.

The 38-year-old had hoped to retire at an ATP Tour event, but could not get a main-draw wild card in Florence or Naples.

The pair are ranked first and third in the men's singles record book after contesting 79 and 66 consecutive main draws on the Grand Slam stage, respectively.

Jordan, Maxime and Andreas all needed final-set tiebreakers and saved a combined nine match points on a wild Tuesday afternoon.

The 25-year-old claimed his second ATP title on Sunday with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over the Italian in Long Island.

Edmund powered into his first ATP final since 2018, beating Miomir Kecmanovic 6-1, 6-4 on Saturday.

Stan Wawrinka also survived in five sets, setting up a third-rounder against John Isner. Karen Khachanov joined the two by outlasting Mikael Ymer in four hours and 34 minutes.

The 23-year-old Russian has a Paris Masters title defense on the horizon.
