The second consecutive semifinal in a Masters 1000 tournament reached by Jannik Sinner at the Miami Open has done nothing but confirm the constant growth of a tennis player willing to work day after day to improve and achieve great goals.
Only Daniil Medvedev and Cameron Norrie, for the moment, have won more matches than the Italian in 2023. The Russian achieved victory number 27 of the season by beating Christopher Eubanks in straight sets; while the British is stuck at 21.
Paolo Bertolucci, in an editorial written for the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, focused precisely on the future of Sinner. He explained: “Making victories against strong players look simple: that’s the quality of great champions. Sinner demonstrated it in the fantastic ride of just 71 minutes against Andrey Rublev in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 in Miami.
He reduced the number 7 in the world to impotence, as if giving him just six games without practically ever jeopardizing the technical dominance on the match was the most normal of days. However things go, the two great American tournaments deliver a real and rapidly growing player to the circuit, and to our tennis one who will soon give us great satisfaction.
Not that there were any doubts, because Sinner has been adding something…
