There will not be the most awaited, the outgoing champion Jannik Sinner, who remained at home to recover from the Australian labors, But the Rotterdam tournament, the first ATP 500 of the seasonsimultaneously with Dallas, however promises show given the presence of 4 of the top 10 in the world (Alcaraz, Medvedev, De Minaur and Rublev) plus 5 Italians (Berrettini, Sonego and Cobolli to which they were added Vavassori and Bellucciwinnings from qualifying).
Sinner’s relaxation in Plan de Corones: Jannik on his snow between descents and smiles
Demanding scoreboard for Alcaraz
On paper the demanding scoreboard Alcaraz, returning from the quarterfourors to Melbourne, who after the debut with one of the darlings of the house, Botic Van de Zandschulp, should find on his journey towards the final, in order, AUGER-AIVIime, Runes And one between Rublev and Hurkacz. Medvedev, n. 2, on the other hand, suffered the 39 -year -old Wawrinka then should face one between Bellucci and the Dutch Rottgering then one between caps and Tsirtsipas finally one between De Minaur and Fils. The Spaniard has confessed to the press conference: “In the last year Sinner has lost very few games, he is crazy-said Alcaraz-. I know that many people discuss who is the best between the two of us. But for me, as a player, I tell you that we must all deal with Jannik and he wins practically every tournament that plays. So for me there is no discussion, Sinner is the best “.
Berrettini finds Griekspoor, Sonego Cved by Rune
The blues did not have a particularly lucky draw. Berrettini (n. 33) begins with a difficult customer, Tallon Griekspoor (n. 46) which last year went to the semifinal. Lorenzo Sonego (n. 35) dreams of putting the sticks in the wheels in Holger Rune (n. 12) who in Australia was one of the few to commit Sinner. The Danish won both precedents against the Turin area even if always in a comeback for two sets at one.

It lasts for Cobolli and Vavassori, Bellucci dreams of Medvedev
Almost closed, especially considering the fast surface, it is the challenge that awaits Cobolli (n. 34) against Hurkacz, n. 21, and series head n. 8. The previous two were both won by the Polish. Same goes for Vavassori (n. 316) who immediately finds AUGER-AINSSIME (n. 24), fresh winner of the Monpellier tournament. The only one who starts clearly favored is Mattia Bellucci (n. 98) who finds the 17-year-old Mees Rottgering (n. 855) to which the organizers gave a Wild-Card. For the promising Dutch boy it is the first game ever in an ATP tournament and it is unlikely that you don’t pay for the burning of emotion.
