“It’s tough to say if this is the best week I’ve had, we’ll see at the end of the week” - Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner had ended 2020 by winning his maiden ATP Tour title at the Sofia Open. He then started his 2021 season by claiming his second career ATP title at the Great Ocean Road Open.
Besides these two title triumphs, Sinner had also reached the last eight at Roland Garros, where he lost to 13-time champion Rafael Nadal.
