A defeat in the second round in a Grand Slam for Jannik Sinner is certainly a bad news for him, especially as he had become accustomed to the Italian fans and enthusiasts in general in recent years. In fact, Sinner has been able for over a year to find that absolutely not indifferent continuity in prestigious tournaments: the round of 16 or the quarterfinals (achieved in all the 4 most important competitions) make it clear that the Italian player is certainly not lacking in talent , which in Paris stumbled upon a certainly ugly and heavy defeat.

There are perhaps too many alarms that this match will create around the athlete, who is playing an excellent 2023 season (results don't lie) and probably hasn't found the right adaptation of his game with clay, not having had plenty of time to prepare.

In this, Monte-Carlo deceived everyone that the talented 21-year-old could think big at this stage of the year.

An incredible streak is interrupted

With the exit in the second round, a record streak for Sinner was interrupted, which lasted almost two years and which testifies to the great continuity in the results, despite the difficulties, the numerous physical problems of recent years and also the change of coach (returned fashion as a topic for fans to discuss).

Jannik had not lost before the round of 16 in an official ATP tournament even since the 2021 Cincinnati ATP Master 1000: on the occasion he was defeated in a daring way by the American John Isner. Since the US Open, the South Tyrolean has reached at least the round of 16 in every competition in which he has taken part.

It's not an easy streak to maintain, not even Carlos Alcaraz (his last setback before the round of 16 dates back to August 2022 against Tommy Paul) and Holger Rune have currently had this kind of long-term continuity. Now the goal is to restart.

Sinner will soon turn to grass, a surface on which he surprisingly managed to make a difference last year at Wimbledon, even coming close to winning against Novak Djokovic.
