Jannik Sinner, bigwigs’ board in Paris

Jannik Sinner in Paris

The world tennis season is coming to an end and on Monday the Paris-Bercy 1000 tournament, known for its many surprises over the years, will begin.

Jannik Sinner is set to enter such a tournament for the first time in his career as one of the top four players in the world on the draw, which guarantees him a direct bye in the second round. In the opener, he will challenge either a qualifier or American Mackenzie McDonald, having already beaten the latter twice in the past, Starting in the round of 16, the level of the tournament will rise; considerably and Jannik’s possible opponent could be Alex De Minaur, already his doubles partner from whom he has never lost but who will first have to face the hostile Andy Murray and an opponent between Benjamin Bonzi and a qualifier.

In the quarterfinals, it would be interesting to see a replay of the challenge between Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev, already seen during the Vienna semifinals. In the semifinals, Sinner would face Novak Djokovic. On the other side of the scoreboard Alcaraz, Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Ruud, Hurkacz.
