Sinner is threatened with another Nadal duel, Seppi is unlucky

When the second Grand Slam tournament of the year begins on Sunday, there are several treats on the program. This was the result of the draw, which took place on Thursday behind closed doors. Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were drawn into the same half of the table, which is an absolute novelty. This had never happened before at a Grand Slam. It is now clear that there will be no final between the three best tennis players of all time.

The “stupid” thing from a South Tyrolean perspective: Both Jannik Sinner and Andreas Seppi ended up in this same half. In the first round, the man from Sexten will face the French doubles specialist Pierre-Hugues Herbert (ATP 83), whom he has already defeated once in his career: last year, the youngster easily outclassed the 30-year-old in Cologne 6:3 and 6 :1. Nevertheless, the strong serving Herbert is an extremely unpleasant opponent. Should Sinner successfully master this task, either Gianluca Mager (ATP 85) or John Millman (ATP 43) would wait in the second round. Gael Monfils (ATP 14) is likely to be the opponent in the third round, before a repeat of last year's quarter-final with Rafael Nadal would be inevitable in the round of XNUMX. However, all of this is a thing of the future. Seppi also unlucky Andreas Seppi wasn't unlucky on Thursday either. The Kalterer, who only returned to the ATP tour this week in order to prepare as best as possible for the grass season, will face the Canadian talent Felix Auger-Aliassime (ATP 22) in the first round. The two players have never met before. It is uncertain when Sinner and Seppi will intervene in the tournament.
