Sinner Breaks Into Top 20 For First Time

Spoiler:

Italian teenager attains another milestone
#NextGenATP Jannik Sinner has broken into the Top 20 of the FedEx ATP Rankings for the first time today at No. 19.

The Italian has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past few years, going from an unranked pro in February 2018 to his Top 100 breakthrough on 28 October 2019, shortly before he drew the attention of the tennis world with his dazzling performances to capture the Next Gen ATP Finals title.

Under the guidance of the vastly experienced Riccardo Piatti since the age of 13, and his second coach, Andrea Volpini, Sinner has been able to absorb the very best information and has long shown a maturity that belies his 19 years of age.

“Things are happening quite fast at the moment,” said Sinner, ahead of this week’s Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell. “I have a very good team behind me, and each member knows what they have to do, so that gives me confidence. Everyone has a lot of experience working with many players. I try to improve every day, which is my main goal, and the results will come. I am happy with what I am doing.

“Being a champion is a long, long road. It’s still a long way away… [I’ve made] a good start being 19 years old and playing at the highest level, but I don’t think about being a champion at the moment.”


Last year, Sinner reached his first Grand Slam championship quarter-final at Roland Garros and went on to claim his first ATP Tour title at the Sofia Open (d. Pospisil). He impressed Nadal so much that the Spanish superstar asked Sinner to be his quarantine training partner in Australia earlier this year.

The Monte-Carlo resident got first-hand knowledge of Nadal’s work ethic and went on to capture his second crown at the Great Ocean Road Open (d. Travaglia) in February. He recently advanced to his first ATP Masters 1000 final at the Miami Open presented by Itau (l. to Hurkacz).

Novak Djokovic, who was coached by Piatti at a similar age to Sinner, offered the 62-year-old coach a few tips on Wednesday after the World No. 1 had beaten the teenager at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. “Jannik realises that the process is long,” said Piatti, who also coached former World No. 3 Ivan Ljubicic from the age of 17 in 1997 until the Croatian’s retirement in 2012. “His potential is very good, but he must continue to develop all areas of his game, learn by watching the best players, and develop his consistency each week.”

Last week, Djokovic praised Sinner, saying: “I think he's very talented player. He has already established himself at [a] high level in the men's game, playing [a] Masters [1000] final [and] winning a couple of tournaments already.

“What impresses me the most is his professionalism, his dedication to the everyday routines that he has to endure in order to play at such high level… He really has a good mindset. He seems more mature for his age than the rest of the guys with the way he's playing and training. He's got a good tempo. From the baseline, he makes the other guy feel he's got to run a lot.

“I like his game. I think he has an all-around game. He can play equally well on all the surfaces, which he has proven. Obviously, there's always things to improve. But he's in good hands… I'm sure a bright future is ahead of him.”

Following his loss to Djokovic, Sinner joined Piatti the next day on the practice courts at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, trying to improve. Today, Sinner is the Italian No. 2, behind No. 10-ranked Matteo Berrettini, and the youngest player in the Top 80.

Sinner Makes Quick Work Of Gerasimov

Spoiler:

The World No. 19 advances to the second round in Barcelona
Making his Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell debut, Jannik Sinner made quick work of Egor Gerasimov on Tuesday. In one hour and eight minutes, the 19-year-old advanced 6-3, 6-2 to set up a second-round match with Roberto Bautista Agut.

In his first meeting with Gerasimov, Sinner defended well on his backhand side to set up his forehand with a wide stance and loose swing: six of his seven winners in the first set came off his forehand, and he would hit 21 winners to Gerasimov's seven.

Though in his post-match interview the Italian said he wasn't that happy or comfortable with his performance, he still sprinkled in a few excellent drop shots to pull Gerasimov off the baseline.



The World No. 77 struggled with his serve, particularly in the second set, and would commit his seventh double fault on Sinner’s first match point.

Sinner comes into this week’s ATP 500 with a career-high ranking of World No. 19, marking his first time inside of the Top 20. He’s the first Italian teen to crack the Top 20 in the history of the FedEx ATP Rankings after reaching the final of the Miami Open presented by Itau and then winning a round in Monte-Carlo last week.
"Obviously it's a good number, but for me at the moment [it's] not that important," Sinner said. "Just trying to improve day after day with my team and trying to improve as a player and the ranking is what it is. I’m happy to be [a] Top 20 player but the road is long so [there's] a lot of work to do."

How To Watch

Earlier on Tuesday, Bautista Agut eased past Pablo Andujar 6-4, 6-0. The World No. 11 broke his Spanish compatriot on five occasions. Sinner leads their ATP Head2Head series 2-0.

“He’s an unbelievable player. He’s very consistent," Sinner said. "He lost in Dubai against me, he lost in Miami against me, now we play once more here, so it’s quite a small period of time. We’re playing now our third match already, so it’s going to be a very tough match. He is very, very solid. I never played against him on clay. I’m trying to be ready in the best possible way.”

Sinner Topples Rublev To Reach Barcelona Semi-finals

Spoiler:

#NextGenATP Italian to meet Tsitsipas or Auger-Aliassime

Jannik Sinner upset in-form Andrey Rublev for the fourth Top 10 win of his career on Friday and a place in the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell semi-finals. The #NextGenATP Italian dictated the tempo and moved superbly to overcome third-seeded Russian Rublev 6-2, 7-6(6) in one hour and 36 minutes.

Sinner, 19, who captured his second ATP Tour title in February at the Great Ocean Road Open (d. Travaglia), struck 20 winners in his second ATP Head2Head meeting against Rublev, who drops to a 26-6 match record on the season. Sinner saved one set point at 5/6 in the second set tie-break.

“I am trying to get better every week,” said Sinner. “He has played many, many matches already this year and I tried to play my tennis. It was difficult to finish it off. I had three break points at 5-5 [in the second set], which I could not convert, but I’m pleased to win in the end. I am getting more experience in every tournament I play.”

Sinner, who is the youngest Barcelona semi-finalist since 2005, when 18-year-old Nadal won the first of his 11 Barcelona titles, will next challenge second-seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, last week’s Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters champion, or No. 10 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada.

How To Watch

Sinner came through the first set, closer than the score suggests, with Rublev a fraction slow in his movement. Rublev struck a double fault to hand Sinner the break in the third game and then the 19-year-old Italian hit a forehand winner to break for a second time and a 5-2 advantage. Sinner closed out the 32-minute set after Rublev hit a backhand return long. The Russian committed eight of his 12 unforced errors off his backhand wing.

Rublev started to fire groundstroke winners, capitalising on a slight dip from Sinner. But it was Sinner, who broke into the Top 20 of the FedEx ATP Rankings for the first time this week, who gained the first break of the second set at 3-3. Rublev immediately broke back to love, yet soon found himself at 5-5, 0/40. He did well to dig himself out of a big hole.


It was all Sinner in the early stages of the tie-break, with the Italian winning four of the first five points, but Rublev worked his way back and held one set point at 6/5. Sinner trusted his game and struck a forehand winner and soon closed out for a place in his first ATP Tour clay-court semi-final with his fourth ace.

World No. 19 Sinner, who is making his Barcelona tournament debut this week, is now 18-6 on the year.
