Sinner vs Raonic: ATP Rotterdam – quarerfinal
The top seed Jannik Sinner will face Milos Raonic in the quarterfinal of the ATP Rotterdam tournament.
Jannik Sinner Profile
The Australian Open champion, Jannik Sinner, is fourth in the ATP rankings, which is the highest he has ever been. The Italians defeated Gael Monfils in the quarterfinals much tougher than expected, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Previously, Sinner went past Botic Van Den Zandschulp 6-3, 6-3.
Sinner is now 11-0 for the season after starting with two wins at the Kooyong exhibition and winning seven matches in Melbourne.
This is the third appearance in Rotterdam for Sinner. He made his debut in 2020, reaching the quarterfinals, and last year he lost in the final to Daniil Medvedev in three sets. Sinner has won a total of 12 ATP titles, four of which came last season.
Milos Raonic Profile
Milos Raonic is ranked 309th in the world, and he was the third player in the world at one point. The Canadian is 3-1 for the season, with his first official win coming this week in Rotterdam. He started the tournament with a 7-6, 6-4 win over Jesper De Jong, followed by a 6-4, 6-4 win over Alexander Bublik.
Raonic retired in the third set of the opening-round match against Alex de Minaur at the Australian Open. He started the season with a 7-6, 6-3 win over Frances Tiafoe at the Kooyong exhibition.
This is the third time for Raonic to play in Rotterdam. His first appearance was in 2015, when he lost to Stan Wawrinka in the semifinal, and the same player stopped him in the round of 16 in 2019.
The Canadian has won a total of eight ATP titles in his career, with the last one being in 2016.
Head-to-Head
This will be the first match between Sinner and Raonic.
Prediction and Conclusion
Jannik Sinner is the hottest name in the tennis world at the moment after Italy won his first Grand Slam title. Today, he will play against Milos Raonic, who is trying to get back to the level where he once was. Raonic has had major injuries in the last couple of years and has played a total of 25 matches in the last three years. It is questionable how ready Raonic is, but this match is definitely a huge opportunity to prove everybody that he is back. He has a great serve, and that should be enough for this match to go over 21.5 games in total.
