And there are 14. With yet another victory in a row in a streak that has been going on since the end of 2023, since the defeat against Djokovic at the Finals in Turin, Jannik Sinner secures the pass for the final of the ATP 500 in Rotterdam and books the third position in the ranking, the highest ever achieved by an Italian.
The South Tyrolean beat home idol Tallon Griekspoor, number 29 in the world, in two easy sets, with a score of 6-2, 6-4 in an hour and 19 minutes.
On Sunday in the final he faces Alex De Minaur, number 11 in the ranking with whom he has dominated all previous matches: 6 wins out of 6, losing just one set. Last match, the 6-3, 6-0 with which Jannik brought the Davis Cup to Italy.
If he also wins the final, as early as Monday Sinner would overtake Medvedev to become number 3 in the world, behind Djokovic and Alcaraz. If he were to lose, however, number 3 will arrive anyway but a week later, when Medvedev will have lost the 250 points of the Doha tournament, a tournament for which he has already withdrew and which he won in 2023.
