Jannik Sinner, not just victory in Indian Wells: set new record

A victory that rewrites history once again.

Jannik Sinner in Indian Wells did not è just hit the semifinals, on Thursday that saw him beat Czech Jiri Lehecka in two sets. In fact, his new victory makes him still undefeated in 2024, with numbers that put him ahead of such tennis legends as Djokovic, Borg, Federer, and McEnroe. And a new, additional record è getting closer.

Indeed, the Indian Wells success over Lehecka allowed Sinner to become the youngest player in the Open era to start a season with 16 consecutive wins at the ATP level. The Italian did so at the age of 22 years and 211 days, once again beating the “usual” Novak Djokovic. The formidable Serb was in fact the holder of this important record, achieved in 2011 at 23 years and 299 days. He is followed by Bjorn Borg (23 years and 302 days in 1980), Roger Federer (24 years and 207 days in 2006) and John McEnroe (25 years and 17 days in 1984).

Should però his Indian Wells adventure continue, Sinner could put yet another record in his sights. By winning 17 matches to start the season without losing any, in fact, he would join Pete Sampras (1997) and Roger Federer (2018) as records for the best starts to a season since 1990. It would not, however, be an absolute record: ahead would remain Nadal, who in 2022 put up 20 wins in a row, and the incredible Djokovic of 2011, who reached 41. A goal that appears difficult to match, but never say never.

The words of Frederic Vasseur

After the difficulties encountered in free practice, Ferrari è managed to redeem itself greatly in qualifying for the Las Vegas GP, finishing second with Carlos Sainz and fourth with Charles Leclerc. At the microphones of “Sky Sport F1”, the team principal of the Maranello-based stable Frederic Vasseur wanted to praise the performance of its two drivers, but at the same time charge them ahead of the race, where the Spaniard and the Monegasque will have a chance to make up ground in the constructors’ championship on McLaren, which struggled and not a little in qualifying.

“I don’t sign to have today’s result in the race, forò we have to push for more. A one-two è a bit optimistic, but we are in a good position. We know that this season we go a little bit stronger in the race than in qualifying. We struggled all weekend to find a good lap and at the end of Q3, at least with Carlos, we succeeded. Now, forò we have to complete the task tomorrow. Our race pace simulation è was positive, so we are confident” began Ferrari team principal at the microphones of “Sky Sport F1”.

“As in the last races, we will have to be careful here to manage the tires well. On this track if you have speed; è it is possible to overtake and we have good top speed, so we are ready to attack in the race. I’m not surprised that Carlos finished ahead of Charles on a street circuit, because Sainz è Sainz è was better at getting the tires up to temperature on the preparation lap. Both, however, did a great job and Leclerc, despite the difficulties he had today, will still have a chance to come back in the race” added Frederic Vasseur.

With three races to go McLaren leads the constructors’ championship with 593 points with a 36-point lead over Ferrari.

Palladino’s words

Raffaele Palladino has now got into gear with his Fiorentina after a difficult start: “Despite the defeat against Atalanta I realized that I had a strong team in my hands that was growing. From there on, I think it was a path all on the rise and probably Bergamo è was the turning point”.

“Kean? I touched the keys of’love and gave confidence to a boy who needed a lot of confidence and needed to find self-esteem. È he was very good because he é made himself available to the group with great humility; he did a great job on himself and in my opinion has great margins for improvement. Not even Moise knows how much room for improvement he has”.

The purple coach to Sportmediaset also talked about the calendar: “Surely the commitments are many, in fact there are many injuries, we also have to be good coaches to try to give even a few days off to the boys because they also need a few days off”.

The words of George Weah

George Weah è ready for an AC Milan-Juventus to live as a Juventus fan: “As a child I was a die-hard Juventus fan, I was crazy about Platini: I never stopped supporting Juventus. You can say that my son has fulfilled my dream sì. And to think that I had talked about him for Milan, with Maldini. But Juve è the right team for him, beyondà my tifo”.

“When I was at Monaco I could have ended up at Juve but in the end I stayed in Ligue 1, moving to PSG, becauseé Wenger advised meé to mature further before going to a top league like Serie A”.

“I dreamed of Juve but how could anyone say no to the Rossoneri? Mica me è went wrong: five fantastic seasons, I still feel with Sebastiano Rossi, Boban, Marco Simone…”.

“Trent’years ago I was playing against the team of my heart but I never backed down and in fact I often scored goals for them. Of course I was happy to score but also a little bit sad: they are still my two favorite teams. Tonight if Juve wins I am happy, if Milan wins I would not be 100 percent happy but a little bit; because Milan has done so much for me”.
