Jannik Sinner is playing better and better. The upcoming Italian is widely considered as one of the most interesting prospects in tennis and he is starting to claim some important scalps. During an exhibition in Berlin, the Italian defeated both Karen Khachanov and Roberto Bautista Agut without conceding a single set.
Jannik impressed not only for his trademark “easy-power”, but also for the fact that he is finally succeeding in following his shots at the net to shorten the length of the rallies and improve his chances to win a point. Jannik looked extremely comfortable in defeating Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6 (5) 6-2.
The Italian will face Dominic Thiem in the final. They have never played each other on the official tour, but they have recently clashed in the same exhibition, but on grass a few days ago when the Austrian won 6-3 7-6 (5).
