Jannik Sinner’s Return: All the Opponents Awaits Him at the Beijing Tournament

Anticipation is growing for Jannik Sinner’s return to the court. The world No. 1 hasn’t played a match since winning the Wimbledon final. His knee rehabilitation continues unabated. There is optimism that he will be able to return to the court as soon as possible.

The China Open, scheduled for September 30 through October 6, could be the tournament that marks Jannik Sinner’s big comeback, although, at the moment, there is no definitive confirmation of his presence in Asia, his name is on the official entry list—obviously as the No. 1 seed in the men’s draw.

Should he show up in Beijing, Jannik Sinner would face top-tier opponents. In particular, as the No. 2 seed, keep an eye on Sasha Zverev. The German, who is in the running to snatch the world No. 1 ranking from the South Tyrolean, has just stated that he threw away the Wimbledon final. In short, he’s plotting revenge.

Other rivals to watch include Felix Auger-Aliassime, Novak Djokovic, Alex de Minaur, Daniil Medvedev, and his compatriot Flavio Cobolli, who has recently shown he can play at the very highest levels. Now we just have to wait and see whether Jannik Sinner will be there or not.
