After a very quiet start to the tournament despite a set lost against the local Schoolkate in the second round, Jannik Sinner logically expects a much more complicated duel against Holger Rune, this Monday in the round of 16 of the Australian Open ( not before 4 a.m.).
Although the two players have never faced each other in a Grand Slam tournament, they are tied in their confrontations on the main circuit (2−2). And if the Dane had much more difficulty reaching the second week than the world number 1, the latter knows very well what he is capable of.
“I know Holger quite well. We have always had difficult matches in the past. Let's see what awaits us. One thing I'm sure of is that he can raise the bar very, very high. Knowing this, I must also raise mine”declared the Italian at a press conference.
