Sinner has always declared that he is in no hurry, that the ranking would be the consequence of the level expressed and the results achieved. The opportunity, however, is tempting.

Djokovic, in fact, who triumphed in Paris last year, will have a very heavy bill of 2,000 points and will have to obtain heavy points both in Geneva and in France.
