The wait is growing to understand what will become of Jannik Sinner, the number one Italian tennis player in the world: his participation in the event is in fact shrouded in mystery
With 38 victories and only three defeats, four finals won out of four, one of which in a Grand Slam tournament like the Australian Open, 2024, at the moment, is certainly the year of Jannik Sinner. The South Tyrolean tennis player, as we know, has also reached the number one position in the ATP rankingwhich he will hold at least until the end of Wimbledon, where last year he stopped in the semi-final against Novak Djokovic.
The hope, on the grass of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, is that the 22-year-old continues in the ride to success, hope that remains alive for them too Paris Olympicsin which he will participate in both the singles tournament and the doubles in pairs with Lorenzo Musetti.
Well, in this regard, there is great anticipation to understand if Sinner will also be involved in the mixed doubles with Jasmine Paolini, another tennis player who is bringing Italian sport to the top: she is seventh in the world and has arrived in finale al Roland Garros both in the singular and in the double with Sara Erranilosing both matches.
There is still a mystery about the mixed doubles for the Paris Olympics: no one is talking about Sinner
Ultimately, the final choice on who will take the field is up to the captains. Filippo Volandri and Tathiana Garbin, who will have to collect the consent of the samples involved. Garbin himself, however, on the occasion of the press conference to present the ATV Tennis Open did not resolve the doubts regarding the double.
“The girls showed that they can play at a very high level. Many want to play, We have sign-in on July 24th and will wait until the last minute to make a decision“, he said without giving no preview. The captain is however well aware that the level of Italian tennis has risen dramatically, perhaps to the point of experiencing the best moment in history.
Paolini, as we said, is currently at seventh place in the WTA rankings and the latest victories authorize us to think of a great path also for Wimbledon: “Jasmine is crossing a period of particular brilliance in her tennis. But Elisabetta Cocciaretto is also playing well, she has very good potential on grass and also Lucia Bronzetti”, Garbin concluded, with great confidence for what could happen in the next few days. Even in mixed doubles where, however, the silence on Sinner continues.
