Jannik Sinner had a foot injury incapacitated at the ATP 500 tournament in Vienna. Now the youngster is fit again – and looking for revenge against his first-round opponent in Sofia.

The ATP 250 tournament in Bulgaria is the final competition of the tennis stars at the highest level this season. Then there are only the ATP finals in London, which are considered the most important tennis tournament on the men’s tour after the 4 Grand Slams. That is why the big names are missing in Sofia, as the 8 participants in the finals take it easy. Nevertheless, the field is strong.

An old friend

Jannik Sinner has to defend himself against an extremely unpleasant player in the 1st round. His name is Marton Fucsovics and the Sextner could feel his great quality first hand. At this year’s Australian Open, Sinner met the Hungarians in the 2nd round and had no chance at 4: 6, 4: 6 and 3: 6. Nevertheless, this game is only partially meaningful, as on the one hand there was no indoor play in Melbourne and on the other hand Sinner made a big step forward after the resumption of the tennis tour. It is difficult to name a favorite – also in view of the world ranking position (44 against 52).

Fucsovics last survived the qualification at the ATP 1000 tournament in Paris, but then had to give up the sails in the first round against Borna Coric from Croatia (ATP 24). Sinner, on the other hand, took a break after his foot injury last week. When the game will take place in the Bulgarian capital has not yet been determined.
