Jannik Sinner launches the final assault on the world ranking podium. Tonight (at 9pm) the Italian tennis player will take to the court against Raonic in the quarter-finals of the Rotterdam tournament, having escaped in the last edition only in the final, with the defeat against Medvedev .

But this year the Russian withdrew, and his absence became an "assist" for Jannik, who has the opportunity to overtake him and become number 3 in the world , behind Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. Even more so considering that Medvedev will also miss Doha.

The final victory may not be necessary for Sinner: but after beating Van de Zandschulp and Monfils, the South Tyrolean has his sights set on the big prize.
