Sinner vs. Nadal: Will the sensation be achieved on the third attempt?

Sinner wants to make it to the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the second time in his career. The 2-year-old from Sesto won his third round match at the French Open in Paris against Sweden's Mikael Ymer in three sets on Saturday. On Monday, Sinner will be ranked third in the world rankings in the round of 3. Meet Rafael Nadal. The Spanish clay court king also beat Cameron Norrie in 3 sets. Nadal is the best clay court player of all time. The 34-year-old from Mallorca has won 20 Grand Slam titles in his career, 13 of which he won here in Paris. Nadal won his first French Open title in 2005, and the Spaniard has always been the winner in the last four years. In the last 15 seasons, only the two Swiss Roger Federer (2009) and Stan Wawrinka (2015) as well as Novak Djokovic (2016) have been able to break this winning streak. A mammoth task for Sinner, who will face Nadal for the third time in his career on Monday. The man from Sexten lost the first two duels against the left-hander: three weeks ago in Rome, Sinner lost 3:2, 5:7 in the second round. Last year, also at the French Open, the Pusterer had to admit defeat in the quarterfinals 4:6(6), 7:4, 4:6. Both times Nadal was able to prevail in the end without losing a set - even if Sinner was able to put him under pressure again and again. Sinner full of anticipation Sinner is really looking forward to his next match against Nadal. “I can't wait to play against Rafa again. It will definitely be a very, very difficult match, but I still want to win it. Last year I played my first Grand Slam quarter-final here on Center Court, everything was pretty new for me. “I already showed in Rome that I can keep up with him, this time I hope to do even better,” said the world number 19. from the Pustertal. The game is scheduled for Monday at 16 p.m. SportNews keeps its readers up to date with the Sinner-Nadal match with a live ticker.
