#NextGenATP Italian Sinner Upsets Bautista Agut In Dubai

Spoiler:

Sinner now faces Sonego or Karatsev in quarter-finals
Jannik Sinner claimed a high-quality 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 victory over Roberto Bautista Agut on Wednesday for a place in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships quarter-finals.

The #NextGenATP Italian weathered a fightback from Bautista Agut in the second set and led 4-2 in the decider, before the experienced 2018 Dubai champion worked his way back. Sinner remained aggressive and once Bautista Agut hit his first double fault of the match at 5-6, 15/30, the 19-year-old secured victory with his 48th winner, a looping forehand.

How To Watch

“Roberto is an incredible player, very solid,” said No. 16 seed Sinner. “It was very tough, not going for too much or striking the ball too slow. I am looking for these kind of tough matches in order to improve. I am happy to have won and can play one more match here tomorrow. I tried to control my emotions as much as possible, which helped me a lot.”

Sinner, the youngest player in the Top 100 of the FedEx ATP Rankings, struck 16 aces and will now last month’s surprise Australian Open semi-finalist Aslan Karatsev of Russia on Thursday.


Sinner, last month’s Great Ocean Road Open champion (d. Travaglia), was impressive in the 42-minute opener, breaking Bautista Agut after a 24-stroke rally at 4-4 in the first set. Fourth seed Bautista Agut regrouped in the second set, breaking service for a 5-3 advantage when Sinner hit a backhand into the net. The decider was a battle of nerves and the encounter lasted two hours and 25 minutes.


World No. 11 Bautista Agut, who is now 9-7 on the 2021 season, has already reached two ATP Tour finals at the Open Sud de France in Montpellier (l. to Goffin) and at last week’s Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha (l. to Basilashvili) this year.

Wild card Karatsev advanced to his first ATP 500 quarter-final by beating No. 17 seed Lorenzo Sonego of Italy 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in two hours and 19 minutes.

Sinner On Musetti: 'He Is A Big, Big Talent'

Spoiler:

Dubai quarter-finalist reflects on state of Italian tennis and more
Jannik Sinner is one of the ATP Tour’s brightest young talents, but he is not the only player from his country under the spotlight. Matteo Berrettini and Fabio Fognini led Italy to the final of the ATP Cup last month, and on Tuesday evening #NextGenATP Lorenzo Musetti earned his first Top 10 win against Diego Schwartzman in Acapulco.

Sinner believes Italian tennis is on a “high”.

“Everyone is different, has different styles, so I think that’s very exciting,” said Sinner, who beat Roberto Bautista Agut on Wednesday to reach the quarter-finals of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. “Musetti is a big, big talent. He can do everything with the ball already, so he’s already physically strong. I think he’s a great player like [Lorenzo] Sonego as well. He’s serving big and going for shots.

“I’m excited for Italian tennis and I think everyone can do well in every tournament.”

The 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals champion is not sitting idly on his success. The two-time ATP Tour titlist, who is at a career-high No. 32 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, is keen to continue raising his level.

“For me, the most important thing is always to improve,” Sinner said. “That’s for me the first thing.”


Despite the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sinner broke through last season to claim his first tour-level crown in Sofia and reach his maiden Grand Slam quarter-final at Roland Garros. But the Italian feels more confident this year than he did in 2020.

“Last year was a little bit different, I would say. Players got to know me a little bit because I won the Next Gen ATP Finals. They were all new tournaments for me. It was not easy playing [with] a lot of changes, many, many great players I had to face,” Sinner said. “Now it’s a little bit different. I feel a little bit better on court, I would say more comfortable knowing my game a little bit more.”

Now Sinner is focusing on trying to understand where he must improve his game the most.

“Obviously I have to improve everything, but now I [am] starting to know a little bit how everything is working,” Sinner said. “I’m very happy with every progress we are doing. I have a great team behind me. They know how to make [practice] a tough life for me, so you always have to find a solution, how to react to every single thing.

“I would say this is for me the most important thing: trying to solve the problems I have on court and focusing day after day to improve.”

Sinner will continue his pursuit of a first ATP 500 title when he plays Australian Open semi-finalist Aslan Karatsev. The Russian has maintained his Melbourne momentum, pushing Dominic Thiem to three sets last week in Doha and earning three solid wins this week.

Although Sinner has never played Karatsev in a match, he remembers practising with the Russian in early 2018 at a Futures event in Egypt.

“Obviously [the] next match is a tough one. He is confident, he was playing very, very great in Australia, [made] an incredible run,” Sinner said. “He’s very, very tough to beat, so I think it’s going to be a very different match than today. He’s a big server, playing very, very fast… I’m excited to get to know him in a tournament.”

The Last Time With... Jannik Sinner

Spoiler:

Sinner will make his tournament debut in Miami this year
In the latest installment of our popular series, #NextGenATP Italian and two-time ATP Tour titlist Jannik Sinner reveals the last time...

I lost something important?
When I was a skier, I lost my skis once. I went to eat something and, when I want back, the skis were not there anymore. That was tough for me. I don’t know where they are. I still don’t know that and, honestly, I don’t want to know that because it is a shame. It was in Italy at an important race. I came to the start and the skis were not there anymore. Normally, you have two pairs of skis and I went with the other one. It was tough to accept that.

I paid money to hire a court or buy tennis balls?
I would say in Juniors. I had to pay for tennis balls and the court, but it was not much. It was okay. I think it was somewhere in Bosnia. Fortunately, I had money with me.


Being famous helped me?
I don’t like going to restaurants and not paying, because I don’t consider myself to be famous. For them, I was famous. It was in my [area], where I come from. We went to the restaurant and they said, ‘No, no, it is good.’ I always like to pay, because for me it is [a sign of] respect to other people. I wanted to pay and said, ‘Come on, let me pay’. I had a normal lunch, but they didn’t let me.

I strung a tennis racquet?
Not long ago, because normally when I am in Monaco sometimes I string my racquets by myself. When was I last in Monaco? Two weeks ago, before Dubai I was in Monaco. [It takes me] 20 minutes. I am quite fast.

I cooked for myself or others?
Sometimes I cook. If I am in Monaco and someone comes to me, my friends, my girlfriend, it is okay for me to cook. a simple meal. I am not a chef. [Last time], I cooked chicken with vegetables. Before, pasta with tomato sauce.

I met a childhood idol?
Rafa, definitely. Always when I see him, I am quite nervous. It is the same with Roger. It is always special to meet them.

I attended a live sporting event other than tennis?
At the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals, we went to see AC Milan v Lazio. I think we lost 2-1. I am an AC Milan fan. It was strange because we were the whole group together, with all the Next Gen players. It was 1-1 until the 80th minute and then we went away because after the match, there are a bunch of people going around. After two minutes, we were 2-1 down. It was a bad, bad day.

Sinner Shines In All-#NextGenATP Battle In Miami

Spoiler:

2019 Milan champion beats Gaston for the second time this month
It's rare Jannik Sinner has the experience advantage. But the 21st seed showed one on Friday as he dismantled fellow #NextGenATP player Hugo Gaston 6-2, 6-2 to reach the third round of the Miami Open presented by Itau.

The 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals champion needed just 63 minutes to defeat Gaston, last year's breakthrough Roland Garros star. Sinner overpowered the French lefty, saving all three break points he faced to set a clash against 14th seed Karen Khachanov.



The last time the Miami Open presented by Itau was played, in March 2019, Sinner was outside the Top 300 of the FedEx ATP Rankings and still competing in Futures events. Now, the 19-year-old is World No. 31 and still on the rise. He had an answer for everything Gaston tried to do on Court 4, preventing the 20-year-old from controlling the pace of play with his trademark drop shot.
