Jannik Sinner continues where he left off. After retiring from the Shanghai Masters a few weeks ago due to cramps, Jannik Sinner is back in shape.
The world number 2 didn't have much trouble at the Vienna Open, defeating Daniel Altmaier in the first meeting. The second match was more challenging, but Sinner also had no serious problems, defeating his compatriot Flavio Cobolli in two sets.
It is obvious how much the opponents respect Jannik, and it is also evident that some feel a touch of nervousness before meeting him. When you are such a dominant figure on the tennis scene, you naturally cause tension and fear in your opponents, and only the mentally strong manage to overcome obstacles like Sinner and Alcaraz.

Jannik Sinner reacts
Jannik praised Flavioin his post-match interview, stressing that Flavio is improving week by week. Playing against compatriots is always interesting, but for some it is also challenging. However, the world of sports is such that you accept what is offered to you, and get the most out of every situation.
The two had no previous meetings, but Sinner could see in the last match how impressive Cobolli was, with the potential to improve further. During this season, Flaviowon two ATP titles and reached a career high of 17th place.
The young Italian will have the chance to further convince the public of his qualities, and considering that he is only 23, he certainly has plenty of room for progress.
