Jannik Sinner is two victories from becoming the first home man to win the Italian Open in half a century. And it doesn't seem like anybody can stop him, either in Rome or at the French Open in 10 days.
May 13 : Italian Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn from the French Open with a thigh injury, the world number 10 said on Wednesday, describing the decision as extremely difficult.
ROME: The records keep coming for Jannik Sinner. The top-ranked Sinner beat qualifier Andrea Pellegrino 6-2, 6-3 to reach the Italian Open quarterfinals on Tuesday and match Novak Djokovic’s record with a 31st consecutive Masters Series victory. Sinner hasn’t been beaten in a Masters Series event — the biggest tournaments outside the Grand Slams — since he retired with cramps in extreme heat against Tallon Griekspoor in Shanghai in October. Djokovic won 31 straight Masters matches in 2011. “If you want to be a great player you’ve got to play on all the surfaces and all the tournaments at your maximum,” Sinner said. “It’s the mind that makes the difference.” Like in his previous match, Sinner took control quickly with a break in the opening game before a packed Campo Centrale — where many fans were decked out in orange, which is Sinner’s theme color.
ROME, May 12 : World number one Jannik Sinner extended his Masters 1000 winning streak to 31 matches, equalling Novak Djokovic's all-time record, with a 6-2 6-3 victory over unseeded compatriot Andrea Pellegrino in the round of 16 of the Italian Open on Tuesday.
ROME: Casper Ruud strolled into the Italian Open quarter-finals on Tuesday after easily beating home hope Lorenzo Musetti 6-3, 6-1, as Jannik Sinner gets set for a derby with qualifier Andrea Pellegrino. Clay court specialist Ruud is yet to drop a set in Rome and he looked in fine form on a windy center court, in stark contrast to eighth seed Musetti who has clearly been struggling physically in Rome. Musetti was in tears at the end of his third-round win over Francisco Cerundolo and had to take a medical time-out for a problem with his left thigh during the second set against Ruud. The Norwegian, who was destroyed by Sinner in last year’s quarter-finals in Rome, is on the other side of the draw from the world number one and will face either Karen Khachanov or Dino Prizmic in the last eight. Croatian qualifier Prizmic is bidding to reach his first Masters 1000 quarter-final after announcing himself on the big stage by knocking out Novak Djokovic in the second round. Sinner will take part in a David v Goliath clash with countryman Pellegrino as he tries to extend his record-breaking run of five Masters 1000 titles. Pellegrino, 29, is 155th in the world and before this week had never played in the main draw of a top-ranked ATP event. Should Sinner prevail at the Foro Italico, he will be the first Italian to win there since Adriano Panatta 50 years ago, and would complete his collection of Master 1000 tournaments. With great rival Carlos Alcaraz out injured and Djokovic eliminated early, Sinner will be red-hot favorite as he builds toward completing the career Grand Slam at the French Open which starts next week.
Novak Djokovic was beaten by a Croatian qualifier 18 years younger than him at the Italian Open on Friday in his first match after two months out due to a right shoulder injury.
MADRID, May 3 : Fresh from making history in Madrid, Jannik Sinner wasted little time turning his thoughts to completing the 'Golden Masters' by triumphing on home soil in Rome next week - which would make him only the second man to win all nine Masters 1000 titles.
MADRID, May 2 : Jannik Sinner said the surge of adrenaline that comes with big matches had helped him push through mounting fatigue after the Italian reached his maiden Madrid final following another deep run in a packed season.
