BOLZANO. Jannik Sinner returns to the country that was the springboard that a year ago helped him take flight towards a parabola that ended with him becoming an incredible world number one. The Italian, miraculously healed quickly from the tonsillitis that forced him to give up the Olympics, is expected in Montreal, Canada, for theAtp Masters 1000 on the concrete.
In a post published on his social media channels during the Italian night, the South Tyrolean said he was eager to start playing again: “It’s great to start hitting again and I can’t wait to start again from here” he wrote on Instagram, also publishing two photos during training.
Announced by the tournament organizers, the news of the Italian’s return to the field after the inflammation that caused him to miss the Games was confirmed by his coach, Darren Cahillwho posted an Instagram story from the airport: in the photo you can see the Air Canada writing, a clear indication of the departure for North America. Next Tuesday, the Rogers Cup, the sixth Masters 1000 of the season, will start in Montreal. The news of the imminent arrival in the Canadian city of the first ranked player to participate in the competition was also given by Mike McIntyre – tennis journalist and co-host of @matchpointcanada – on his X profile, after confirmation from the tournament director, Valerie Tetreault.
Exactly one year ago, in Toronto, Canada, the South Tyrolean (pictured) won his first Masters 1000 by beating Australian Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-1 in an hour and a half of play. From there, an unstoppable rise to the top of the world rankings, the first time in history for an Italian. In the coming months, Sinner will have to defend the position he gained from the assault of Serbian Novak Djokovic, a veteran who still appeared in great form at the Olympics, and from the young Spanish phenomenon Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Nole in the final at Wimbledon. The Italian has suffered from various physical and health problems in recent months, having to withdraw from the Internazionali d’Italia.
