Jannik Sinner and Lucas Miedler - that was a story in 2019 that worked extremely well on a human level. And from a sporting point of view followed a certain pattern: Miedler worked his way up on the up-and-coming young South Tyrolean on three occasions, reached the tie-break in the first act, awarded set balls, and then left the court as a loser. This happened, for example, in Bergamo, where Sinner was able to win his first ATP Challenger tournament.
That the chemistry between Miedler and Sinner did not suffer, the tennis fans at "Kasi Live" could follow on Saturday evening in our Instagram account "tennisnetnews". Mielder had taken over from the boss Christopher Kas for the second time, alongside Jannik Sinner also Julian Knowle and Jurij Rodionov in pre-Easter prayer.
Sinner wins in Milan and Ortisei
Sinner is currently in Monaco, where the weather is right, but the exit restrictions are just as restrictive as almost anywhere in the world. He cannot go to his native South Tyrol right now, after the tournament in Indian Wells (Sinner had played the Challenger, the ATP Masters 1000 tournament was canceled, as is known). So there is enough time to look back at the Erste Bank Open 2019 with Miedler. And reappraise the almost legendary carrot story. Sinner was on the center court in the town hall after Dominic Thiem's match, had eaten something but not too much. Then Thiem had to go over three sets against Fernando Verdasco, with Sinner the hunger stirred in between. His coach would have given him the following selection of snacks: an apple, a piece of bread. Or a carrot. Sinner opted for the latter ("It already fits"), won his match with the power of the carrot. And in the course of the rest of the year won the title at the #NextGen Masters in Milan and the ATP Challenger tournament in Ortisei.
