Jannik Sinner's Anticipated Debut at the Madrid Open

We will still have to wait a few days to see Jannik Sinner on the clay courts of Madrid. The Italian tennis player, who will start as the number 1 seed (due to Djokovic's withdrawal), will begin from the second round, where he will face the winner between Lorenzo Sonego and Richard Gasquet. Therefore, an all-Italian derby could materialize right from the first match. Sinner to play on Saturday, April 27 Sinner was supposed to play on Friday, April 26, but in the end, his debut at the Madrid Masters 1000 will take place on Saturday, April 27 starting at 11 a.m. The winner of this clash, in the third round, will face either Jordan Thompson or the winner of the match between Pavel Kotov and Albert Ramos Viñolas. Having skipped the 2023 Madrid tournament, Jannik will not have points to defend, so he does not face particular risks in terms of ranking. Indeed, Djokovic's withdrawal opens new scenarios for Sinner's chase for the top spot. The South Tyrolean cannot surpass the Serb in Madrid. The Italian can reach a maximum of 9660 points by winning the ATP Masters 1000 in Madrid. The Serb would remain in the lead with 9990 points. However, it could be a step forward to then play the best possible tournament at the Foro Italico in Rome and try the overtaking at Roland-Garros.
