Tomas Machac startled by Jannik Sinner: "Brutal"

On Thursday, Tomas Machac accomplished a feat by beating Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals of the Shanghai tournament. The Czech champion will now face Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, a match that frightens and, at the same time, fascinates Machac.

"Heò will tryò to play at this level and we will see what happens. I will tryò to enjoy the match, I am facing the world number one. Sinner is playing at an impressive level, especially on hard courts. Today, against Medvedev, he played the best tennis I have ever seen, a brutal level. I'm looking forward to a challenge like this, I&#39m going to enjoy it,&#quot; he said.

The victory over Daniil Medvedev allowed Jannik to play his sixth semifinal in this amazing 2024: "I am very happy with the way I played. We prepared the match very well and I did everything that needed to be done. He could not hit the forehand ball as he would have liked because of a shoulder problem but, if I have to look at me, I played really great tennis".

Jannik Sinner is impressing everyone, and accolades are also flowing in from other big names in Italian sports, such as Dorothea Wierer, who, on the occasion of the Fisi media day, reiterated her admiration for the San Candido outfielder: "He è an exceptional athlete, he has grit and he has a crazy head. I think a lot of people would like to be like him, someone who never gives up, someone who always wants to win. And yet è he stayed with his feet on the ground and that è a good thing, he doesn’t get his head".
