Given some excellent absences, The sinner is the n.7 classifier After that, he begins his adventure in the emirate, starting with the second round. A way to get a little extra time to prepare and train on the clay, and gain confidence on that surface.

South Tyrol will have to speed up, and in the second round they will face one of the Argentines Diego Schwartzman and the Belgian David Goffin. On paper, two demanding tennis players, they know how to interpret the mysteries of red football well, but they come back from a period that was not positive for various reasons: since mid-January, the South American has achieved only 3 wins in the 12 matches played (the last knockout against Marco Chiquinato in Estoril); The Liège native was forced to miss the entire month of March due to problems with his left knee, following the injury he picked up at the ATP250 in Marseille. Either way, Yannick is ahead of the previous matches, as he has never lost.
In the Round of 16 there can be a cross with one between the Poles Hubert Hurkach And the other Argentine Sebastian Baez. If it’s the former, Sinner will find himself in the presence of a tennis player he knows well (2-1 credit to Hobby’s previous players), but he’ll have to have some more trouble trying his hand. This surface requires great dynamism. As for the South American (not previous), we are talking about a cunning opponent, with characteristics very similar to Schwartzman’s, with a big forehand.
In the Quarterfinals Crossings are expected to cross, i.e. one with Novak Djokovic. The world No. 1, unable to participate in the 1000 in Indian Wells and Miami due to the issue with the Covid vaccine, was able to carefully prepare for the clay court season. Thus, he arrived at the appointment more prepared than Sinner and also strengthened by previous appointments, because Jannik always lost in the past two meetings, one of them in 2021 in the Principality.
If this feat succeeds, Sinner will be waiting for another very complex cross, against the one between the Russian Daniel Medvedev and Danish Holger Ron Most likely and again there are no previous victories for either, even if they are not achieved on this surface. So, in the last chapter, the names most adopted are those of the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and Russian Andrey Rublevas the Greek was chasing the third title in a row on the soil of Monaco, while the Muscovites would like to go to the final as in 2021, when he was beaten by Tsitsipas.
