Jannik Sinner passed directly to the second round where he will have to beat his doubles partner Lorenzo Sonego, fresh from the success against Gasquet
Today, Saturday 27 April, the day of Jannik Sinner’s debut at the Masters 1000 in Madrid. The Italian thus returns to the field after the defeat in the semifinals in Monte Carlo against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (4-6, 6-3, 4-6) and does so in an all-Italian derby against Lorenzo Sonego, number 52 in the world, who on Thursday he knocked out Frenchman Richard Gasquet (6-2, 7-5).

Sinner: The Olympics? Primary objective, but the Slams…
The fact of being here as number one doesn’t give me any extra pressure, just a great pleasure. In my head I know that maybe I will have some more difficulties, but I’m happy to be there. I also know that last year I didn’t do very well on clay and I will try to improve, then the most important tournaments will come, Rome and Paris. If I had to say one primary one for the season I would say the Olympics. Then obviously there is also Rome and the Slams, but the Games are something else. Djokovic? Let’s not make comparisons, he is the one who won more than anyone else, explained Sinner.
Fifth comparison
Jannik and Sonego have faced each other four times previously (all in 2023) and the number two in the world has always prevailed (see all previous matches in detail at this link). Only once did he give up a set, and that was on grass.
