Jannik Sinner Leaving work halfway through the rain, he returned to the locker room dominating Finn Emil Ruusuvuori for 6-3, 2-0. He had to wait two hours, playing cards with his family in between one of the distractions to calm his nerves, to return to Hard Rock Stadium and sign the victory, 6-3 and 6-1, his passing in the semifinals of Miami ATP Masters 1000.
The Italian, 21 years old and world no. , the best in the clash between Spaniards Carlos Alcaraz and the american taylor fritz.
The sinner regained his peace of mind by approaching his best result in Miami, the last he lost in 2021 with the Pole Hubert Hurkacz.
He had a promising season, with a positive balance of 20 wins and 4 losses. They were his second consecutive Masters 1000 ATP semifinals, as this was the round he most recently reached in Indian Wells.
In the California desert he came across the magnificent form of Carlos Alcarazwinner by 7-6 (4) and 6-4, putting his ATP record in the transalpine with a favorable 3-2.
There could be a sixth rivalry between what is expected to be a possible classic rivalry in the coming seasons. Despite how Alcaraz dominates his rivals, current champion in Miami and also defending world number one, Sinner questions him as a rival.
“I always look forward to these kinds of matches. I’ve said it Indian Wellsand I repeat, I feel played with Alcaraz it makes me a better player. We will see the result later. If it’s good, good; otherwise, to verify that there is still a need to improve for the next”, reviews Sinner.
There is a noticeable difference in track speed between the very slow of Indian Wells and the relatively fast Miami. A factor considered by the Sinner will not affect a new conflict Alcaraz. “I beat him on grass. Also on clay, on the very slow clay of Umag because it was late. Here in Miami the surface is fast, but both he and I are comfortable in these conditions. I saw him play and he was moving very, very fast.”
“I already told my team that I want to play against Alcaraz”
I don’t want to talk about it Alcaraz because “he used to have a hard fight with you taylor fritz“, but most see the Murcian in a higher step than the other tennis players in the draw. And the Italian press conference revolved around the Spanish.
“I told my team after Indian Wells that I want to play against Carlos again, let’s see what happens now,” he said.
Alcaraz has the option of becoming the eighth player, and the youngest, to complete the Sunshine Double, win in Indian Wells and Miami. In this regard, Sinner insisted that “you have to ask him what it means. He won the Grand Slam, he won in Miami, Indian Wells. He is certainly at the moment one of the best players in the world, if not the best, right?”
Sinner: “I have my own way, I can improve a lot”
Sinner recalled that “he only lost one game this year, and he was injured (in the final in Rio against Cameron Norrie), but I have to focus on myself. I have my own path. I know I can improve in many aspects , which is positive considering that I am at a good level”, concluded the Italian.
