Jannik Sinner: Brad Gilbert’s words bode well for competition
Jannik Sinner suspended: Brad Gilbert sees the bright side
Speaking on his “X” profile, former U.S. tennis player Brad Gilbert è expressed himself bluntly on the Indian Wells final that saw Jack Draper triumph over Holger Rune. In the course of his analysis, in addition, he could not miss a reference to Jannik Sinner, who was unable to take part in the California Masters 1000 due to a three-month disqualification in the Clostebol case.
“The biggest lesson from the men's match in Indian Wells è that there are many more opportunities to have unprecedented finals like the one between Holger Rune and Jack Draper with Sinner out of the picture” began the former U.S. tennis player.
“Seeing his form over the past 18 months, I have no doubt that if he could have participated, Sinner would have definitely made it to the finals and would also have had a very good chance of taking home this tournament as well” added Brad Gilbert.
On the same wavelength as the former world number four, Daniil Medvedev also expressed himself bluntly: “Overall, the absence of Sinner, who lately wins one tournament out of two, maybe even a little bit more, is definitely favorable in terms of results for everyone on the circuit, not only for me, literally for everyone. At the same time, given my recent results, I don't worry so much about Jannik, because in the last few tournaments I haven’t even faced him because I haven’t gone far enough to get there”.

Matteo Gigante, world number 164, didn’t make it against the emerging Czech Jakub Mensik, number 21, who in the second round of the men’s singles at the Internazionali d’Italia beat him with a score of 7-6 7-5 in just over an ira and 40 minutes of play.
Two evenly matched sets in which there was only one break, the one on 5-5 in the second set in favor of Mensik, and only two other break points, saved by Gigante, who on 3-3 also in the second set had found himself down 15-40.
The situation was repeated four games later and this time Gigante had to surrender at the second opportunity for Mensik, who won the first set tie-break 7-4 by stringing five consecutive points from 4-2 in favor of the 23-year-old Roman.
