A little less than a month after the knockout at the Australian Open , Jannik Sinner takes his revenge against Stefanos Tsitsipas , number 3 in the ATP ranking and seeded number 1.
The South Tyrolean beats the Greek in the round of 16 of the Atp 500 tournament in Rotterdam with the result of 6-4 6-3 , but above all he always offers a performance in control. Now Sinner will find the Swiss Stanislaw Wawrinka in the quarterfinals . On the day in which the Italian tennis legend Nicola Pietrangeli "rod" Matteo Berrettini ("It seems to me that he is dedicating himself more to advertising than to tennis") and promotes Sinner ("He is the best Italian tennis player at the moment. The one who currently plays Lorenzo Musetti is better in Italy, but Sinner certainly won't stop there»), the South Tyrolean adds another prestigious victory to his career four days after his triumph in the ATP 250 in Montpellier.
« I was very concentrated and I couldn't wait to play this match and today I'm really satisfied - commented Sinner - Wawrinka? It will be a different challenge than today and I will have to be very careful because Stan is very strong» . Precise, powerful, determined: in a word "unplayable". The best Sinner seen in some time now is the one who surpasses Tsitsipas in Rotterdam. After four consecutive defeats and a very heavy 5-1 in the previous matches between the two. Sinner and Tsitsipas had never challenged each other on concrete.
