Sinner ready for Shelton

Luke’s feat

Not an unexpected round of 16, what will see Jannik Sinner and Ben Shelton facing off in Indian Wells. Certainly in the path of one of the two, moreù forward, there will not be; Novak Djokovic, who è was defeated by Luca Nardi, author of a real feat. A feat that will not displease any of the others in contention on the Californian concrete given the undeniable strength of the Slav.

Nole always in the way

What does Djokovic have to do with it? It’s got to do with it, it’s got to do with it… Only Nole and Shelton, in fact, have defeated Jannik in the last 36 (!) matches played in singles by Sinner: in Shanghai, even then it was a round of 16 final, the U.S. won in three sets, in a comeback, with the score of 2-6, 6-3, 7-6.

The previous

The match, in China, was played a few days after Sinner’s success at the Beijing tournament (double 7-6 in the final over Medvedev): but the best, for our champion, was yet to come…

The rematch

After only two weeks Jannik è took his revenge, winning in two sets 7-6, 7-5 at the Atp 500 tournament in Vienna.
