Jannik Sinner in an ATP quarter-finals for the first time

On Thursday afternoon in Bergamo, in the round of 17 of the “Trofeo Faip-Perrel” (46.600 euros in prize money), the 224-year-old from Sexten defeated the Croatian Viktor Galovic (ATP 7) after almost two hours of play with 5:1, 6:6 and 4:XNUMX and moved into the top eight.

After the opening victories against the Austrian Lucas Miedler (ATP 277) and the Sicilian Salvatore Caruso (ATP 172), the Puster native continued his winning streak against Galovic today. Sinner started the match against the Croatian with a break, but immediately received the rebreak. When the score was 5:5, he took Galovic's serve again to take a 6:5 lead, but then had to fend off three break points from his opponent before bringing home the first set 7:5. In the second half of the game, Galovic took command and clearly won 6-1. The third, decisive set also began with a break and a rebreak. When the score was 5:4, Sinner used his first match point to make the final score 6:4. This victory brings the Pusterer 1.260 euros in prize money and an impressive 15 ATP points. This means he will move up over 100 places in the world rankings next week, climbing from 548th to 432nd place.

In the quarter-finals tomorrow, the Pusterer will face the winner of the game between the number 4 seeded Italian Gianluigi Quinzi (ATP 151) and the French Elliot Benchetrit (ATP 281).

Out in doubles Sinner also had to play his double quarter-finals in Bergamo that evening. However, with Liam Caruana, a Roman who grew up in the USA, he was eliminated by Laurynas Grigelis (LTU)/Zdenek Kolar (CZE) 55:3, 6:3 in just 6 minutes of play
