Jannik Sinner is prepared to take on Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals of the ABN AMRO, ATP 500 tournament on the hard courts of Rotterdam. The Italian emerged victorious against Gael Monfils in a three-set match, although he experienced some difficulties in the second set and felt discomfort in his elbow. Sinner provided insights into his physical condition and reassured everyone about his well-being.
During the match against Monfils, Sinner exhibited signs of pain in his right elbow. He acknowledged the varying nature of each day in Rotterdam and mentioned the presence of his physiotherapist. Sinner explained that sometimes he feels the muscle in his elbow becoming stiffer, but they are working on it and he remains relatively calm. He believes it is a minor issue and not a cause for concern.
Reflecting on his victory, Sinner considered it a positive outcome despite not being at his best. He acknowledged the lack of extended rallies in the match and highlighted his ability to perform well in crucial moments during the first and third sets. However, his focus wavered in the second set, resulting in a loss of points. Sinner recognized the challenge of facing someone like Monfils and emphasized the need for caution in every match. Looking ahead to the quarter-finals against Raonic, whom he has never played against before, Sinner expects a tough match and is prepared for the new challenge. He hopes for a good match, even if the pace may not be high. Sinner acknowledged Raonic’s absence from the court for a while, allowing him time to recover and make adjustments. Despite not having much more to say about the match, Sinner expressed his determination to give his all.
The match between Sinner and Raonic will take place in a few hours in Rotterdam, following the quarter-final match between Dutch player Griekspoor and Finnish player Ruusuvuori. The other two quarter-finals, featuring Dimitrov and Shevchenko, as well as De Minaur and Rublev, will be played in the afternoon.
