Jannik Sinner won the first game of 2024. At the Kooyong Classic show tournament in Melbourne, which is not part of the ATP tournament series, Sinner beat the Australian Marc Polmans 6:4 and 6:0.
Sinner chose this tournament this year as immediate preparation for the Australia Open, which begins on Sunday.
Acclimatize in Melbourne
Many players, including Roger Federer, choose this tournament in order to be at the Australian Open tournament venue in Melbourne and to be able to acclimatize better. In Melbourne there are currently temperatures of up to 30 degrees.
Holger Rune and the Croatian Australian Open finalist from 2018 Marin Cilic are also taking part in the Kooyong Classic this year.
Mission: Grand Slam
The Australian Open starts on Sunday. Sinner is placed at position 4. It is his best ranking to date for a seeding list at a Grand Slam tournament. Sinner is aiming to reach the semi-finals of the first Grand Slam tournament of the year for the first time.
Many experts believe Sinner will win a Grand Slam tournament for the first time this year. It is questionable whether this will work at the start of the season in Australia. Last year Sinner failed in the round of 16 against Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.
