Jannik Sinner, the Italian tennis player, has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters 2023 after a challenging match against his rival and friend Hubert Hurkacz. The match started off poorly for Sinner, with Hurkacz taking the lead by winning the first set and serving impeccably in the second.
However, Sinner, a former Miami champion, managed to cancel a match point and win a tough tie break to level the match. In the third set, fueled by enthusiasm, Sinner dominated with a decisive 6-1 win, securing his place in the next round and tying his previous matches with Hurkacz at 2-2.
After the match, Sinner acknowledged the difficulties he faced and discussed his upcoming opponent in the quarterfinals. He stated that playing against Hurkacz was challenging from the start and that he had to work hard to overcome the initial setbacks.
Sinner further explained that he did not play his best tennis but managed to respond better as the match progressed. He also mentioned feeling the pressure of playing with a fellow countryman, and that he would have to make changes to his game if he plays against Novak Djokovic, who lost to Lorenzo Musetti and will not be Sinner’s quarterfinal opponent.
With his impressive win, Sinner moves forward in the tournament, hoping to continue his success and make a name for himself in the tennis world.
