The next highlight is coming up for Sinner

Sinner has had a sensational week: He reached the semi-finals in Antwerp, but then lost to the Swiss Stan Wawrinka. The Pusterer is playing his ninth tournament in the ATP circus this week, the first at an ATP 500 tournament. As the best junior player in the world, Sinner received a wild card for the prestigious tournament in the Austrian capital.

That's where the Sesto native meets, which as of today is ranked 101st with Best Ranking , on Tuesday in the second match after 17.30 p.m. against the German Philipp Kohlschreiber. The 36-year-old from Augsburg, who lives in Kitzbühel, is number 79 in the world and confidently survived the qualification at the weekend. “I am very happy to have received the wild card for such a big tournament like Vienna. Until now, I've only ever watched Thiem & Co. from the couch, but now being there myself is unbelievable," says the aspiring tennis star happily.

Youngster versus old hand Kohlschreiber is one of the “old hands” on the ATP tour and has already collected almost 13 million euros in prize money in his career. In addition, the German was already number 16 in the world seven years ago. Until spring 2019, Kohlschreiber was in the top 50 of the ATP world rankings for twelve years. Should Sinner win against the German, he could meet number 4 seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils again in the round of 14. The South Tyrolean moved to XNUMXth in the world rankings. just last week in Antwerp.

After Vienna, Sinner will play the Next Gen Finals from November 5th to 9th in Milan. The Puster native, who has a record of 78:55 wins in 23 matches, will conclude his first professional season with the home challenger in Val Gardena (November 11th to 17th).
