Jannik Sinner&#8217s adventure in the Doha Atp 500 came to an end earlier than expected. His defeat to Jakub Mensik, Atp No. 16 and sixth seed, by a score of 7-6, 2-6, 6-3, in two hours and 13 minutes of play, is causing much discussion. The world number 2, also coming back from an Australian Open that was certainly not as triumphant as the previous ones, kept calm and analyzed the match lucidly: “In the first set he served very well, with almost 90 percent first serve. In the third I suffered a major break and made a few too many mistakes. I’m a little sorry for how I handled some moments, but it can happen”

Paolo Bertolucci rages after Jannik Sinner’s new defeat in Doha
L'Azzurro was beaten in three sets by Czech Jakub Mensik
Sinner didn’t make a big deal out of it, and he acknowledged his moment of difficulty

On social media, however, the trial has already exploded, and so many have criticized him
L'former tennis player Paolo Bertolucci did not hide a certain irritation
"Sinner is in love, must revise the preparation, change the team , find the badness again…"

"Change game, work only on his tennis, limit commercials, accept Alcaraz’s superiority and review scheduling"
"It takes presumption to process the number 2 ATP"
Then Bertolucci provided his analysis on X
"Kachanov and Mensik played two great games"

"Alcaraz managed in the end to tame the opponent with ingenious solutions"

"Sinner did not take advantage of opportunities and suffered Mensik’s aggressiveness"

“Indian Wells will be next: we will take a couple of days off and then we will work, including physically. I made maybe 2-3 wrong choices, I was not very lucid, but it is not a drama. The third set was probably the key moment: there I got a break and didn’t serve my best. Mensik played a very good tie-break, maybe I could have done better in a key point, but it’s easy to talk about it after the match. I am calm, I know what I have to do to get back to the right level. All tennis players go through moments like that and I hope to make up for it soon” added the South Tyrolean.

Sinner in particular is already looking ahead to his next goals, without losing confidence: “One of my big goals will be Roland Garros, but it is still far away. Today I did not play as I would have liked some new things I am trying, but that is normal: not every day is the same. Indian Wells is a tournament where I usually struggle a bit, we will see how it goes, while in Miami I always played well”.

“I am trying to improve and add details to my game, but the confidence to express good tennis is and always will be there. In the last three years I have won many matches and lost few: that is what counts” he concluded.

In the meantime, Carlos Alcaraz’s adventure in the Doha tournament continues, with the Spaniard who by imposing himself in the final would further consolidate his top ranking.
