The Rise of Jannik Sinner: Indian Wells and His Potential Opponents

The wait for Jannik Sinner has begun again. The 22-year-old Italian tennis player now attracts attention like a rock star and his matches become events worth marking on the calendar. It will be a little complicated for the Italian public to follow him carefully even during the appointment with Indian Wells but the desire to see him in action could lead many fans to forget the hours of time difference that separate us from each other United States.

Indian Wells: Jannik’s possible opponents

Jannik Sinner ended up on the opposite side of the scoreboard to Novak Djokovic. Unlike what happened at the Australian Open, a possible challenge with the Serbian could only take place in the final. The blue player enjoys a bye in the first round and therefore will not play the round of 32, but will wait for the winner of the match in the round of 32 between the Australian Kokkinakis and the American Marc Giron. Two players to be respected with whom however Jannik boasts a positive tradition.

Bertolucci: “The useless tarantella has started”

It also arrives on social media the speech by Paolo Bertolucci. The former Italian tennis player is a big Sinner fan and one of the first to point to the South Tyrolean as a potential phenomenon. Now, however, he invites everyone to calm down without thinking too much about the draw, the scoreboard and the possible matches for the Italian tennis player: “The tarantella began with the hypothetical clashes up to the final. I modestly advise you to watch one shift at a time. Predicting the path following the seedings is ridiculous and misleading”.

A tweet from the former Italian captain which immediately sparked the reaction of social media which showed that they are anxiously awaiting the tournament that will see Sinner back on the pitch: “There is a newspaper that has been counting down for days for the assault on number 2 in the rankings, as if it were a question of life or death. Second he does it to be ready to denigrate in case of defeat – Emanuele writes clearly reference to the Gazzetta dello Sport – The same newspaper that splashed Davis’ first-round denial on the front page”. It’s still: “We are not used to having a champion like Sinner. We don’t know how to behave. We haven’t had one in 50 years and maybe we never have if it gets to number 2”.

Spanish challenge for Cobolli and Fognini

Among the Azzurri competing, the other top seed is that of Lorenzo Musetti who, however, is experiencing a negative moment and which he hopes to overcome by infecting one of them Shapovalov e van de Zandschulp. While waiting for other potential Italian arrivals from the qualifiers, he will take the field for the first round Flavio Cobolli who will debut against the Spanish Carballes Baena. Spanish challenge also for Fabio Fognini finding Zapata Miralles. The worst draw is perhaps the one that fell to Lorenzo Sonego who finds the Serbian Kecmanovic who last season was an “Italian-killer”. On paper, Mateo’s commitment seems more affordable Arnaldi making his debut against the Frenchman Van Assche.
