Jannik Sinner, first rival of the year is Edmund

Jannik Sinner in Australia

It’s all set in Adelaide for ATP International 1, the first ATP 250 tournament of the year.

The compulsory favorite is Novak Djokovic, on his return to Australian soil, who will make his debut with Constant Lestienne.

Jannik Sinner, from the No. 6 seed, will begin his 2023 with Englishman Kyle Edmund: in the second round he would face the winner of the challenge between Maxime Cressy and host Thanasi Kokkinakis.

Despite having achieved excellent results in skiing since childhood, at the age of 13 Jannik decided to devote himself exclusively to tennis, moving to Bordighera, at the court of Riccardo Piatti. It was a choice that would prove successful, as Sinner is the youngest Italian tennis player ever to enter the top 100 (October 2019) and to win an Atp title in the Open era (Sofia 2020). In addition, along with Matteo Berrettini, Jannik is the only Italian tennis player to have reached at least the round of 16 in all four Slams. For him, 2022 was the breakthrough year: he left Piatti to rely on Vagnozzi.
