Sinner vs Fritz
Under the guidance of coach Darren Cahill, Jannik Sinner defeated the defending champion of the Indian Wells Open, thereby securing a place in the semifinals. Sinner’s exceptional performance during the first set was characterized by a series of incredible winners, some of which registered speeds of approximately 100mph and left everyone stunned. Fritz was unable to counter these shots, and as a result, he had to play a more passive role in the first set.
In their quarter-final match at the Indian Wells Open on Thursday, Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz brought with them impressive winning streaks in the tournament. Fritz had won nine consecutive matches, while Sinner had five victories under his belt, not counting his withdrawal from the fourth round last year.
Both players appeared to be quite comfortable on the Indian Wells courts, and they engaged in a high-quality contest. Sinner’s powerful shots proved decisive in the crucial moments of the match, resulting in a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 victory. Sinner made history as the first Italian man to reach the quarter-finals in the event’s 47-year history. He also extended his remarkable run by improving his record to 3-3 in his last six matches against Top 5 opponents.
After reaching the 2021 Miami title match, Sinner is now heading towards his second ATP Masters 1000 semi-final, where he will face Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday. His achievements in the desert have boosted his ranking by two spots to No.11 in the ATP Rankings, with only Fritz ranking higher at No.10, but who is expected to drop at least five places by Monday.
Fans were absolutely stunned to see Jannik Sinner show
Fans took to Twitter and lauded the Italian for putting on such a show. A few fans appreciated and said that he launched some missiles. They wished him the best for his next match against the top seed, Carlos Alcaraz. On the other hand a few others mentioned that big muscles are not necessary to hit such winners.
