Jannik Sinner is burning for revenge

After Jannik Sinner had to fight for three hours for his first round win against Thanasi Kokkinakis, he was probably relieved on Wednesday Match against Miomir Kecmanovic lasted just 77 minutes. The reason for this was an injury that forced the Serb to retire. The 21-year-old's batteries are fully charged again. And they have to be, because his next opponent is tough.

The tennis world first became aware of Felix Auger-Aliassime when he won a match on the Challenger Tour in 2015 at the age of just 14. He confirmed the early praise that the now 22-year-old received back then in the next few seasons. Last year he reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time, and this year he won his first title in Rotterdam - after losing eight finals in a row. Only the consistency of the Canadian is not the same as that of the top cracks. The fact that he has already suffered 19 defeats this season proves this. At the same time, Auger-Aliassime also celebrated 35 victories. He won one of them against his next opponent at the Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid.

Around three months ago, the strong-serving Auger-Aliassime defeated Sinner 6:1, 6:2. The world number 9 didn't have a single chance to break. fend off at that time. Sinner, on the other hand, gave up his own service four times. It was a show of strength from the Canadian and at the same time the clearest defeat Sinner has ever suffered. ATP Finals in mind That's not the only reason why the South Tyrolean really wants to move into the next round. In the annual rankings, despite his fabulous record of 38:10, he is only in 15th place. A good tournament and a corresponding number of points in Cincinnati are almost mandatory for the Sexten native if he wants to compete in the ATP Finals in Turin at the end of the season. The match against Auger-Aliassime is scheduled for Friday night at 1 a.m.
