Tsitsipas is back for Sinner tonight in Rotterdam, Musetti makes his debut in Buenos Aires in the late evening

You again? Yes, Stefanos Tsitsipas again. Jannik Sinner’s Australian nemesis who tonight at 7.30 pm (live on SuperTennis) is ready to block his way again in the second round in Rotterdam. The two have already met six times; the only success of the Red Fox dates back to the 2020 Italian Internationals, the Greek has won the last four challenges, the bloodiest of all for Jan was that of January in the round of 16 of the Australian Open, 6-3 in the fifth for Tsitsipas after Sinner had been able to put two sets back together.

Back on the field last week in the ATP 250 in Montpellier, Sinner immediately hit the mark, his seventh at ATP level, climbing back to number 14 in the ranking. In Holland in the first round he overcame the Frenchman Bonzi in three sets. Stefanos comes from an almost immaculate start to the season: thirteen wins and only one defeat, the one against Djokovic in the Australian Open final, which however was his only individual tournament, given that he played the other matches in the Davis Cup and United Cup. “Tsitsipas is strong, but I’m ready,” said Jannik in Rotterdam. “I’m satisfied with my level, I’ve made some mistakes but it’s never easy to play well immediately after winning a tournament.” To Bonzi, n.48 Atp, he perhaps conceded one set too many, the second (6-2 3-6 6-1) after having dominated in the first, while Tsitsipas, number 3 in the world, settled the Finnish Ruusuvuori in two (n.52) struggling only in the first (7-5 ​​6-1).

Lorenzo Musetti is also back tonight, who at 10.30 pm (always live on Supertennis and SuperTennix) in Buenos Aires, the first stage of his South American ‘tour’, challenges the local hero Pedro Cachin. Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz made his successful debut in Baires, the former ATP No. 1 who hadn’t played since last November due to an abdominal injury that had forced him to miss the ATP Finals and the Australian Open as well. Carlitos beat Laslo Djere (6-2 4-6 6-2) in three sets in front of a very large audience in which the great Gabriela Sabatini stood out.
