The American faces Jannik in the third round of the Australian Open: the last clash dates back to Shanghai 2023 and wrote the history of the blue…
When they distributed perseverance, Marcos Giron arrived well in advance and sat in the front row: his best ranking (37) was achieved at the age of 31. The same age in which he won an ATP title for the first time in front of the most special of friends, someone who hoarded home trophies ad nauseam. His compatriot, moreover. Giron’s career hasn’t been so much “I wish, but I can’t.” How much, if anything, an “I can, therefore I would like”: a new but inevitable motto to define someone who has more than once risked saying enough with racket and ball, held back by the hips which allowed him everything, except a descent to the net as God commands and a prolonged and credible exchange from the baseline. Helping him was Andre Agassi, or rather the brilliant friend mentioned above. Yes, Sinner’s next opponent comes from painful years, before the rebirth complete with a best ranking. And every time he meets the Azzurri there are not so much Slam challenges involved, but dreams of the Finals.
