After her triumphant campaign at the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner is back on the court at the ATP 500 event in Rotterdam. Entering the tournament as the number one seed, the new Grand Slam champion overcame the likes of Boticvan de Zandschulp and Gaël Monfils. In the quarterfinals, the young Italian tennis sensation was awarded a walkover after his Canadian opponent Milos Raonic picked up an injury in this second set. Jannik later breezed past Tallon Griekspoor in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, to reach the title match.
