Jannik Sinner arrived in Indian Wells on March 6th to compete in the BNP Paribas Open. The first ATP Masters 1000 event of the year will take place on the Indian Wells hard courts in California.
Thus, the 22-year-old has joined Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, who arrived in the US a few days ago.
The two victors are undoubtedly the most anticipated of the competition, along with the 22-year-old who is trained by Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi. He is unbeaten this season and won the Australian Open, amassing a 12-0 record between Melbourne and Rotterdam, where he also gained another title.
Sinner engaged in a dialogue with Tommy Haas, the former world no. 2 tennis player who has been the competition’s director since 2016, during the first training session. An extra-special privilege for Jannik, who wants to experience positive feelings right away in “paradise” because of his competition “debut.”
Sinner wants to rank second in the ATP.
Sinner would be able to go up in the ATP world ranking if he wins at Indian Wells. In actuality, Jannik would reach the semifinals or finals of the ATP Ranking and secure the No. 2 spot—a feat never before attained by an Italian—should Carlos Alcaraz choose not to defend the title he won the previous year.
The young Italian has the points from the 2023 final coming out in Miami, where other combinations would then be relevant. However, the BNP Paribas Open is currently the center of interest.
He has had just over a week to acclimatize to the present California climate and familiarise himself with the surface, which is highly conducive to his game as he has been demonstrating at high levels in recent months.
