(VIDEO): Jannik Sinner meets young fan with same hair colour ahead of Cincinnati Open opener
ATPWednesday, 14 August 2024 at 14:00
Italy’s tennis star Jannik Sinner met an exciting young fan
during the Cincinnati Open. The 22-year-old is already regarded as one of the
best players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category, along
with Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Sinner is currently in Cincinnati, where he is getting ready
to begin his campaign at the ATP 1000 event with the round of 32 match against America’s Alex Michelsen on Wednesday. On Tuesday, the reigning world number one arrived at the court
for some practice ahead of the all-important fixture and was greeted by some exciting fans.
Out of those, one fan was extremely excited to meet his favourite
star. He shouted, “Jannik, I have the same colour hair! Support the system!” His voice received instant attention from Sinner, who shook hands with the youngster, who was clearly over the moon after shaking hands with one of the big-name
players in men’s tennis.
Sinner is coming into the competition after a rather
disappointing outing in the Canadian Open, where he was knocked out after losing
in the quarterfinal to Russia’s Andrey Rublev with a score of 6-3, 1-6, 6-2. During the contest, the world number one clearly struggled with fitness concerns, and it is not clear whether he has completely recovered from a hip injury he sustained earlier this year.
Sinner is going through a fabulous season, but he has struggled with fitness problems lately. It was because of this that he ended up
withdrawing from the Paris Olympics just days before the mega-event. The San
Candido-born star will be hoping to improve his record this year at the
mega-event after having a disappointing outing in the last edition. In 2023,
Sinner was knocked out of the competition after losing in the round of 32 to
Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-6.

- Done, looks good!
AceOfBase17-09-2024 - FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
