Miami, Jannik Sinner: “I’ll have to come up with something with Machac.”

The blue outfielder has never faced the Czech in his career

Between Jannik Sinner and a place in the semifinals of the Miami Masters 1000 there's an obstacle not at all easy to overcome. It is Tomas Machac. Having entered the top 100 of the ATP rankings at the end of 2023, the 23-year-old Czech is rapidly climbing position after position, so much so that he made it to the quarterfinals in Miami, eliminating, in the last round, Italy's Matteo Arnaldi.

Jannik Sinner è aware that he faces an uncomfortable opponent, the kind that, if on a good day, can provide several headaches: "We have never played against forò I know him. I see a lot of tennis so more or less I know what to expect. He is playing very well, free, he is putting out very good tennis. Not for nothing he beat Rublev, Murray and Arnaldi. Above all he plays well even with the wind, I will have to invent something to beat him", the words of the South Tyrolean.

Given Carlos Alcaraz’s success against Lorenzo Musetti (double 6-3), Jannik Sinner wants, at all costs, to move on in the Miami tournament, to get another chance to face the world No. 2 and try to avenge the defeat suffered recently in Indian Wells. First there's first to knock out the hostile Tomas Machac, the surprise of the tournament.
