Jannik Sinner, there is a precedent for concern

Jannik Sinner, the former

Jannik Sinner’s next opponent in Miami will be Christopher O'Connell: born in Sydney twenty-nine years ago, he currently occupies the number 66 position in the world rankings, with a personal best ranking of number 53 achieved in September last year.

Her best performances were two semifinals reached in 2022 and 2023 in San Diego and Monaco. During the latter, he scored a significant win against Alexander Zverev, then world No. 16. In Grand Slam tournaments, the third round at the Australian Open in 2022 and Wimbledon in 2023 remain his best results to date.

O'Connell has faced several injuries in his career, deciding in 2018 to take a break from tennis and pursue boat cleaning with his brother in a bay near Sydney. This period gave him new perspectives and contributed to his growth both personally and professionally. Returning to tennis in 2019, he experienced a positive turnaround in his career. His only previous match against Jannik Sinner was in 2021, when O'Connell è won in the second round of the Atlanta Open.
