A difficult draw awaits Jannik Sinner at the National Bank Open. Play for the main draw begins on Tuesday at the competition, which is being held in Montreal this year.

Sinner Plays

At the National Bank Open, Jannik Sinner has a challenging draw. The ATP Masters 1000 event that Sinner won in Toronto the previous year is being presented by Rogers. This year, the competition is held in Montreal, where main draw play gets underway on Tuesday.

In the opening round, the top player in the PIF ATP Rankings will face either a qualifier or Pedro Martinez. However, Alejandro Tabilo, a Chilean who is ranked fifteenth could pose a threat in the third round.

On July 24, Sinner declared his illness-related departure from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The defending Australian Open winner claimed he was diagnosed with tonsillitis after becoming ill recently.

Sinner was ranked eighth in the world and had not yet claimed a Masters 1000 championship when he competed in Canada a year earlier. The Italian claimed that not much has changed despite his rapid rise to the top of the men’s tennis world.

Sinner expressed his thoughts about it and said: “It’s just a different number. Me and my team, we try to make the process, our daily routine, to make everything in the best possible way and just try to be ready for every challenge that comes up. I’m very happy to come back here. It started off with last year’s semis of Wimbledon and then I came here for the first Masters event I won. I’ve been very consistent throughout one year and that’s at least what we will try to do in the next months also.”
