Beyond the uncertaintiesthoughts of withdrawal ei hip discomfort. Jannik Sinner continues his adventure in Masters 1000 in Madrid and reaches the quarter-finals by overcoming the Russian Karen Khachanov (number 17 in the world) with a score of 5-7 6-3 6-3. A comeback victory that gives the world number 2 one among Casper Ruud e Felix Auger-Also. It was an intense, hard-fought match, edgy, one of those necessary to test the technical and physical condition of the moment. After the discomfort in his right hip came against Pavel Kotov, a useful match to get a little more probative answers than those we had in the first two rounds. Sinner hasn’t solved his problems ailmentsbut he has demonstrated that he knows how to manage, control, overcome, so as not to make them become heavier. In short, he confirmed that these are “nothing serious”, as he had defined them after the match against Kotov.
A victory of personality which clears the clouds that had gathered around the blue in the last 24 hours. Khachanov is a player of great quality and experienceplays well on clay (he reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros on two occasions, in 2019 and 2023) and also has to his credit two semi-finals Slam. He is therefore not a trivial opponent to face, and if you are not at a acceptable level from a physical point of view (before that of tennis) you cannot overcome him in a comeback. Moreover, with a growing performance from all points of view. And now Sinner will have one more day on his side rest e recover. After Indian Wells, Miami e Montecarlo, so here is Madrid. Four quarter-finals in the first four Masters 1000 of the season. A thread that hasn’t been done since 2016 with Milos Raonic. Certainly not a prestigious achievement, but one which in any case does not occur often, and highlights the whole situation even more costanza of yield reached by the blue. Another 180 points in the farm which bring Sinner even closer to the top of the rankings. Now the distance from Novak Djokovic is around 1100 points.
The match – The attention in the first points is maximum. All eyes are turned towards the right leg of the blue, in order to understand to what extent the problem accused against Kotov has resolved or not. The sensations are good, but these don’t avoid three break points for Khachanov. Sinner cancels them all without any worries. Having averted the danger, the blue tries to raise the level, shaking off the physical uncertainties. The only hesitation that remains concerns the slide from the right side. The balance is broken at 5-5 due to a bad rebound, and he takes advantage of it Khachanov. The Russian thus closes the first set easily. Sinner’s reaction arrives immediate. He immediately creates two chances, the first is enough. Khachanov’s backhand lands in the net. The change of inertia it is evident, even if the hand continues to touch the right side from time to time. But there are no dangers duty shifts of the blue, and so the South Tyrolean pushes the match to the third thanks to a poor response from the Russian. At this point Khachanov pushes again, building two chances at 1-0 and 2-1. Cancel both: ace and first serve. The backlash appears inevitable in the Russian’s head, and so at the first opportunity Sinner scores the break with a comfortable forehand. And the time which definitively breaks the game, which then ends with a passer along the line Of grande precision.
