Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, living the dream in Miami. I’m super excited to share some awesome news with you all about the latest happenings in the world of tennis. Let’s dive into the incredible journey of Jannik Sinner, who’s been making waves this season.
Jannik Sinner’s season has been truly exceptional. The Italian ace is on the verge of winning his seventh title of the season in Shanghai. This achievement is all the more impressive given that he recently lost the final in Beijing to Carlos Alcaraz, the world’s number 1 player. Despite this setback, Sinner showed incredible mental strength and resilience, qualities that have defined his remarkable run throughout the season.
One of the most notable matches of his journey was against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the third round of the Shanghai Masters. Sinner lost the first set but then raised his level significantly in the next two rounds. He went on to defeat Ben Shelton and Daniil Medvedev, the latter being his seventh defeat in eight matches played against each other. Medvedev was affected by a small shoulder injury, but Sinner’s performance was nothing short of perfect, cementing his status as the best player in the world.
Sinner’s path to the top hasn’t been without its challenges. He has had to face a long trial for a doping case and recently started a new collaboration with Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio, after parting ways with Umberto Ferrara and Giacomo Naldi due to the doping issue.
The upcoming match against Tomas Machac is crucial for Sinner’s chances in Shanghai. Machac has been playing aggressive tennis from the baseline and has already impressed against Alcaraz by breaking his winning streak. Sinner will need to be careful and strategic if he wants to emerge victorious.
In a recent interview, Sinner reflected on Rafael Nadal’s retirement, praising his humility and dedication to the sport. “He has given us many emotions watching him play. Also, maintaining humility at the same time, not changing with success, selecting the right people around him, and having a good family. There are many good things he has given us all. It’s tough news, but on the other hand, everything has a beginning and an end. Only he knows how he feels,” Sinner said.
