Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner continues to shine. He clearly won the derby against Italian number two Lorenzo Musetti and thus achieved a new great record. Jannik Sinner’s 2023 year has so far gone to the highest level.
Having reached the semi-finals and hoping to conquer a first success in Montecarlo (which he will not succeed), Jannik can smile at the idea of a new great record, undoubtedly very enticing.
Jannik is the youngest player in tennis history to reach the semi-finals in the first three 1000s of the season, namely Indian Wells, Miami and Montecarlo. Only four tennis players have managed to do all this, and we are talking about none other than the Big Four, four athletes who have made tennis history.
Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray, and Sinner are now in the same boat, or rather he has done even better. Jannik’s numbers at his age are impressive, but given the situation, it seems likely he could do even better.
Sinner in Monte-Carlo
Sinner, after the round of 16 at the Australian Open, accumulated a series of excellent results, although, in addition to the Montpellier trophy, he only lacked the title.
During the first three 1000s of the season, Jannik reached the semi-finals in Indian Wells where he lost only to young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. A few days later, he took his revenge in the semi-finals in Miami, but lost in the final against the Russian Daniil Medvedev.
The surface changes and things don’t change with a Sinner who appeared very capable throughout the tournament and also reached the semi-final in Montecarlo. Jannik suffered a lot in the round of 16 where he won against his friend Hubert Hurkacz by canceling a match point from his rival.
After doing so in the deciding tie-break of round two, Jannik rose to the challenge by winning round three. In the quarter-finals, Jannik won the derby 6-2 against a worn-out Lorenzo Musetti, tired from the efforts of the match win against world number one Novak Djokovic. Sinner will lose his Monte Carlo semi-final to an in-form Holger Rune.
