There couldn’t have been a better return for Jannik Sinner after the cramps that forced him to retire in Shanghai. The quarter final of the millionaire performance of Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabiawas literally a one man show for the world number two, dominated far and wide without the unfortunate Tsitsipas being able to do anything (6-2 6-3 the final score). The Greek has never been in the game and at just 27 years of age his career now seems to be in its twilight and to think that before the two phenomena Alcaraz and Sinner exploded it was the Greek who was considered the potential number one of the future.
Never in the game
Sinner started very strong immediately breaking serve from Tsitsipas and it flew to 4-0 then managing the first set without problems. Jannik seemed very comfortable on Riyadh’s very fast surface and won games on his serve without risking anything even though he didn’t have a very high first-ball percentage. In the second set, after the 3-0 in favor of Sinner which seemed to be a prelude to an imminent closure, there was a small reaction from Tsitsipas, but Jannik closed the game 6-3 without forcing too much. Tomorrow in the semifinals Sinner will face Djokovic While Carlos Alcaraz he will deal with Taylor Fritz who surpassed Alexander Zverev.
