“I will have nothing to lose, he doesn’t know me…”

He has already done his thing to a large extent. Now he will be able to enjoy the moment and, why not, attempt the historic feat. We’re talking about Tristan Schoolkate, the next opponent of Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open 2025. The host, in fact, today beat the Japanese Taro Daniel with a score of 67 76 61 64, in a match that thrilled the Aussie public.

At this point the Perth native tennis player will focus on next match which, as mentioned, will pit him against the world number 1 and holder of the title. A real event for the tennis player born in 2001: “I am very happy to face Jannik Sinner. It doesn’t happen often that you play against the world number 1. I can’t wait to get on the field. I think we’ll be on Rod Laver Arena, it’s a great experience for anyone.” (Fonte: Sky Sport).

How do you face such a commitment? The Australian seems to have clear ideas: “I will go out on the pitch and try to do my best to try to get a good result. I obviously have nothing to lose.”

An unbalanced situation. Who knows his opponent too well and who, on the other hand, might snub him a little: “I’ve seen him play many times, but he knows nothing about me. It can be an advantage from my point of view. I’ll go out on the court and try my best shots, then we’ll see how things go.”
