Jannik Sinner makes it 100

South Tyrol's tennis ace grabbed the round of 1000 ticket at the Masters 6 tournament in Madrid with a crystal-clear 4:6, 1:100 against the highly rated Alex De Minaur. What was impressive was not his performance, but rather a number that stood out at the end of the evening: it was the 20-year-old from Sexten's XNUMXth victory on the ATP tour.

The anniversary success was only briefly in danger during Sinner's evening shift in the Caja Magica, the venue for the Madrid Open, in the middle of the first set, when both opponents gave up their serve game one after the other. Sinner was already leading 4:2 when De Minaur reached 4:3 with a break. It was the best phase for the 23-year-old Australian, who is 22nd in the world rankings, exactly 10 positions behind Sinner. However, Sinner countered with an immediate rebreak. As a result, neither of the two opponents was able to complete his service and so Sinner finally moved to 6:4 with two more breaks.

In the second set there was no sign of De Minaur, who had been in good form up to this point. Sinner, who now acted much more confidently when serving, didn't even have to show his best tennis to put his opponent in their place with a rather unspectacular 6:1. After exactly 74 minutes of play, Sinner's 4th win in the 4th duel with De Minaur was secured. “One hundred is a beautiful number” Jannik Sinner “We both didn’t play our best tennis,” Sinner said after the match. A small smile crossed his lip at his anniversary victory. “A hundred is a nice number, that’s true. But I do hope that there will be a few more victories,” he finally said with a smile. Now Canada's tennis star is waiting Sinner can achieve victory number 101 on Thursday in the round of 21. But then a tough challenge awaits with the 10-year-old exceptional talent Felix Auger-Aliassime. Sinner was ranked 4th in the world. from Canada never before.
