Sinner wants his first victory on the lawn

After the injury at the French Open, the Sexten native withdrew from the public. No post on social media, no information about his health. Things became quiet around the world number 13. Still not, on the contrary. First it was announced that he was with Jerome Bianchi A new physiotherapist was hired, shortly afterwards the Sinner management confirmed that Umberto Ferrara was the new fitness coach, before the name of the new super coach became public on Saturday. His name? Darren Cahill. As Sinner announced on Monday, he is back in full possession of his strength and ready for the grass season, which, however, only includes two tournaments for him: After the cancellation of the ATP 500 tournament in Halle, the man from Sexten is only playing in the one in Eastbourne the lawn classic in Wimbledon, which takes place from July 27th to 10th. Tricky draw At the tournament in Eastbourne, Sinner is aiming for his first grass-court victory on the ATP tour. The first three matches against Nicolas Jarry, Jack Draper and Marton Fucsovics were lost. The 20-year-old's only two wins on the fastest game surface came in 2019 as part of the qualification for the 250 tournament in 's-Hertogenbosch. However, the task will not be easy. After enjoying a bye at the start, the number 2 seed from South Tyrol will most likely face Tommy Paul (ATP 36), who will face Francisco Cerundolo (ATP 46) in the first round. Sinner still remembers the American very well, as they played a fantastic match at this year's Master 1000 tournament in Madrid, in which the youngster fended off two match points. The final score was 7:6, 6:7 and 6:3 after three hours of play.
