Within a year from “Alcarazmania” we have another phenomenon on tour, that can be seen on every poster for the ATP – Jannik Sinner. The Italian superstar has quickly risen from promising talent to the best Italian to ever play, and his country is head over heels for their new hero.

Right before the Rome Masters we were hit with a number of retirement announcements, Dominic Thiem and Diego Schwartzman join an illustrate round of players, that will retire after the 2024 season.
