Jannik Sinner puts his signature on it. And gets acquainted with the new couple in Italian sports.

Jannik Sinner attended the Laureus ceremony, where he was among the nominees as sportsman of 2025. At dinner he sat with Bebe Vio and Federica Brignone with his partner: a few chats in company and then the return home.

The world number one, also favored by the absence of his main rival, continues to ride the enthusiasm after his victories in Paris 2025, Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo, and aims to win the fifth consecutive Masters 1000, a goal never achieved before in tennis. In Madrid, Sinner wanted to express closeness to Alcaraz: “I know he is going through a difficult time conquest this injury, I hope to see him on the court soon. I hope already in Rome because I want to win against the strongest.”

In the round of 16, Sinner could face one of Machac, Paul or Norrie, while in the quarters the designated opponent would be Alex de Minaur, although surprises such as Joao Fonseca or the young Spanish talent Jodar are not excluded. In the semifinals, however, he could cross Musetti or the fresh winner of Monaco, Ben Shelton.

Musetti will probably start against Hurkacz, a debut that is anything but easy. Flavio Cobolli will face one of Carabelli or Monfils; Luciano Darderi will find Altmaier or Cerundolo; Lorenzo Sonego will face a qualifier; Matteo Berrettini will take on Collignon, while Mattia Bellucci will face Dzumhur. . Also on Sinner’s side of the draw is young Federico Cinà, a 19-year-old from Palermo, who, thanks to a wild card, will play the first round against a qualifier or lucky loser, thus avoiding American Michelsen, who became seeded after Draper withdrew.
