In the Rottderdam quarterfinals: A new name for Sinner

Sinner will meet Milos Raonic on Friday evening. There has not yet been a duel between the South Tyrolean and Raonic, which is also due to the North American's history. Raonic has hardly had a chance in recent years. He is one of the best players on the tour.

The Canadian is currently only number 309 in the world, but this ranking should not obscure the class of the 33-year-old. Raonic (he reached the Wimbledon final in 2016 and was number 3 in the ATP ranking) has had a long ordeal. In 2022 he had to miss an entire year on the ATP tour due to injuries. He didn't really get up to speed last year either and he also had to retire injured at the Australian Open this year.

Sinner, who has the chance to become number 3 in the world if he wins the tournament in Rotterdam, is fit. The beaten elbow holds. Fitness will also play a crucial role in the quarter-final duel between the two professionals, especially since there is a risk of a “night shift” in Rotterdam.
