Jannik Sinner relaxes with his girlfriend Laila Hasanovic in Monte Carlo

Jannik Sinner has practiced with enormous effort in the last few days before leaving for the United States, where he will participate in the Cincinnati Masters 1000 before the US Open. The last Grand Slam of the season represents his main goal at this stage, but the world number 1 will also be called upon to shine in Ohio where he lifted the trophy in the last edition.

The Italian ace will have to resist the assault of his top rival Carlos Alcaraz between now and the end of the season, if we consider that the 22-year-old Spaniard will have far fewer points to defend and will be able to aspire to return to the top of the ATP rankings.

At the same time, this surface enhances the game of Jannik, who has regained confidence after the atrocious disappointment at Roland Garros becoming the first Italian player in history to win the title at the Wimbledon Championships.

The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria has occupied the first position in the ATP rankings for 60 weeks in a row and has no intention of stopping here, on the contrary he will try to break new records thanks to his impressive consistency that has left everyone speechless in the last year and a half.

Sinner is ready to play again

Before flying to the USA, the four-time Grand Slam champion took a walk in Monte Carlo together with his girlfriend Laila Hasanovic, who was also present during Wimbledon.

Fans are eager to witness another chapter in the rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz, which has already given some truly iconic matches that will remain forever etched in the history of tennis. Their battle at the French Open was sensational from all points of view, while the Wimbledon final was less spectacular but allowed the Italian to break the long negative streak against Carlitos.

The Italian and the Spaniard will also be the two top favorites in New York at the end of the summer and everyone remembers their epic clash in the quarterfinals of the 2022 edition, when the star from Murcia lifted his first Major title becoming the youngest world number 1 in the history of tennis.
