Jannik Sinner-Novak Djokovic, crowd bath in practice

Jannik Sinner will spar with Novak Djokovic at 6:30 p.m. Sunday on court 5 at the Foro Italico. A crowd bath is expected in Rome for the two most anticipated tennis players at the Internazionali d’Italia, the winner of the last edition and the athlete on whom Italy’s hopes of returning to the title after so many years are pinned.

Both will test their form: Jannik Sinner is coming off a forfeit in the Barcelona quarterfinals, Novak Djokovic skipped the Madrid tournament to get to the top at Roland Garros. The two could cross paths in the tournament in the semifinals: today the first appetizer for the duel that could soon come.
