On the one hand the number 262 of the world, on the other the 453, together they did not reach 34 years: the all -Italian challenge to the 2019 internationals was a window on tennis that would arrive
The ranking is three -digit, but the ages of the two contenders, added up, reach 34 years old. Because they are both minors. On the one hand the number 262 of the world, on the other the 453. Many have already embroidered the future of the two players, proposing great satisfactions: the witness of Italian tennis will go to them for decades, they murmur in the stands of the field Nicola Pietrangeli. On May 8, 2019 Rome is not yet dressed as a party: the internationals must officially start the way, just enough time to complete the qualifying path. And to enjoy an Italian derby in the second round: a 2001 against a 2002, a fresh Challenger finalist against the champion of the last Australian Open Junior. In Rome, on May 8, 2019, Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti face each other. Exactly six years and two Davis cups later, they really turned into the Italian tennis standard bearers. And they took the lift for the very high floors of the ranking: here they both in the top ten today.
