The Sinner-Novak program – The race to the finals by Jannik Sinner
Hello friends of OA Sport and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the match between Jannik Sinner and Dennis Novak, second round of the ATP 500 in Vienna. Another important match for the blue from an Atp Finals perspective.
Best time of the year for Sinner: the South Tyrolean won in Sofia and Antwerp and in the interlude reached the round of 16 in Indian Wells. Particularly last week in Belgium, Riccardo Piatti’s pupil showed clear progress in the service, as well as a spatial physical condition. The debut in the Austrian tournament was also good: 6-4 6-2 ad Opelka winning the service from the American three times thanks to an exhibition test in response.
Opposite will be the local wild card Dennis Novak. The Austrian won in the first round in two tiebreaks against ours Gianluca Mager, playing a decidedly solid match in the serve, galvanized by the home crowd. The player from Wiener Neustadt in recent weeks qualified in Antwerp and picked up the final in the Orleans Challenger.
The two have never faced each other on the major circuit, nor at Challenger level. A win would allow Sinner to go to 3305 in the standings, just ten points from the top-10 occupied by Domenico Thiem, while in the race he would be only thirty points from the ninth position of Hurkacz which today allows you to arrive in Turin. Whoever wins faces one of Ruud And Sonego to the quarter-finals.
