Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner continues to shine. He clearly won the derby against Italian number two player Lorenzo Musetti, setting a new great record. Jannik Sinner’s year 2023 has been at the highest level so far.
While waiting for the semifinals and hoping to conquer the first success in Montecarlo, Jannik can smile for another great record that is no doubt very tempting. Jannik is the youngest tennis player in history to reach the semifinals in the first three 1000s of the season, namely those of Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo.
Only four tennis players have done it all, and we’re talking about none other than the Big Four, four athletes who made tennis history. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray and Sinner now have good company or rather, they did even better.
Jannik’s numbers are impressive at his age, but given the situation it seems likely he’ll do even better. In these minutes we remember that Sinner plays against Holger Rune in the semifinals of the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters.

After the round of 16 at the Australian Open, Sinner has had a number of excellent results, even if only the title was missing apart from the Montpellier title. In the first three 1000s of the season, Jannik reached the semifinals in Indian Wells, where he lost only to young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
A few days later he took revenge in the semifinals in Miami, but lost in the final to Russian Daniil Medvedev. The surface changes and things don’t change with a sinner who seemed very knowledgeable throughout the tournament and also reached the semifinals in Monte Carlo.
Jannik struggled a lot in the round of 16 as he beat his friend Hubert Hurkacz and also fended off a match point from his rival. After making it in the tiebreak of the second set, Jannik closed the challenge with a win in the third set.
In the quarterfinals, Jannik defeated the derby 6-2 against an exhausted Lorenzo Musetti, tired after exerting for the match against world number one Novak Djokovic.
