Siner: “I don’t want pressure”; Alkaras: “Janik is dangerous” – News – Tennis – B92.sport

In case of triumph at the Masters in Madrid, the Italian could win 1,000 points, and since Novak will not be there, the difference could be reduced to only 330 points before the Masters in Rome.

Siner was asked before the start of the tournament what he thought about it, but he tried to stay out of all calculations.

“I don’t want to put myself under pressure. I’m in a positive moment, I’ve won a lot of matches, I just want to continue like this. I know I have to improve if I want to keep winning. I am looking for new opportunities, every new tournament is also a new chance to show that I have raised the level of my game. Proving that I’ve progressed…I’d really like to do that here in Madrid. It’s a new tournament, a new opportunity, we’ll see how everything goes“, the tennis player from South Tyrol is clear.

He will be the first seed, and on the other side of the draw is Carlos Alcaraz, the number two seed.

The Spanish tennis player defends the trophy in the center of Cah Mahic.

“Siner is dangerous. He is the best player in the world. Some believe that his tennis is not suitable for clay, but he has had good results on it as well. He can win every tournament, and I fight with him and Novak to be number one. I will try to stay in that race, although it will be very difficultAlcaraz said.

In the second round, Siner plays the better of the match between Richard Gasquet and Lorenzo Sonnego, while Alcaraz’s opponent in the second round is Alexander Shevchenko.
