Jannik Sinner and the big opportunity

When the French Open draw was made, Jannik Sinner was once again unlucky. With David Goffin he was given a tough guy. If he overcame this hurdle, which he did in an impressive way, the paths were open to him. In round two he was the clear favorite against the French qualifier Benjamin Bonzi (ATP 227) - and As expected, won easily. The quality and consistency that the South Tyrolean showed in the style of a top player was too great. Now another Frenchman, Benoit Paire, who Sinner had already outclassed in Rome 6:2 and 6:1, should actually be waiting in the third round. However, the 31-year-old once again lived up to his reputation as a surprise bag on Wednesday and lost to the Argentine Federico Coria. A player who made it into the top 28 for the first time at the age of 100 and feels completely at home on clay. The world number 99. Despite or perhaps because of his playing ability, which can be described as extremely solid, he is an outsider against the South Tyrolean. Not least because Sinner has adapted his game perfectly to the surface, acts with less risk and therefore makes fewer easy mistakes and is also extremely strong on defense. Dream duel possible In the third round of a Grand Slam, every opponent is dangerous - Sinner knows that too. This is one of the reasons why he will enter Court 14 on Friday with the greatest possible concentration, where he has already put Bonzi in his place. And should Sinner actually defeat Coria, a very interesting duel against Alexander Zverev from Germany would await. However, the US Open finalist must first beat the Italian Marco Cecchinato.
