Having put the defeat in the Indian Wells semifinal behind him, Jannik Sinner is now focusing on the Miami Masters 1000 where he will start as the No.2 seed, behind Carlos Alcaraz, whom he can only face in the final. The Italian tennis player is already qualified for the second round and will therefore have a few extra days to recover energy and prepare as best as possible. Naturally, the goal for the 2001-born player is to make it to the end, hoping for Alcaraz to be stopped in the quarters, so as to attempt to overtake him for the second spot in the world ranking. Djokovic's withdrawal could give Jannik a good advantage as he seeks revenge against the No.2 Spaniard.
Sinner world No.2 if... Jannik in Miami has only one case (also tied to Alcaraz's result)
When will Jannik Sinner play in Miami (and against whom)
Five Italians (Berrettini, Arnaldi, Sonego, Cobolli, and Darderi) will play in the first round of the Florida tournament, while Sinner and Musetti are already qualified for the second round. The Masters 1000 will start on Wednesday, March 20. Jannik Sinner will play against the winner between Cachin and a yet-to-be-discovered qualifier. It is not yet certain when the Italian will play. Presumably between Friday, March 22, and Sunday, March 24, since the third round will start on Monday, March 25. The time is naturally still to be defined.
