Alex Michelsen thinks he has an advantage over Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner, Michelsen swagger: "I have an advantage"

Jannik Sinner returns to the court for his debut in the Cincinnati Masters 1000: facing him is world number 57 Alex Michelsen. The American è in his best career moment and has never faced a top 5 player so far on the circuit: "he will playò against the number 1. It will be a good experience. I have nothing to lose, I will tryò to give my best and have fun, thatè for sure. We will see what happensà", are the words taken from Supertennis.

The two have not even crossed paths in practice: "This might be a little advantage for me, Jannik has never seen my ball. I know him much more than he knows me".

Michelsen, 19, è one of the emerging talents of American tennis: he has already beaten a top 10 player in his short career, Alex De Minaur in Los Cabos.

On the circuit he has so far reached two finals in Newport, both of which he lost to Mannarino and Giron.
