From Qualifiers To Showdown: Sinner and Marozsan Set To Rewrite History
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

At the age of 14, the last 16 matches in Halle will feature Jannik Sinner and Fabian Marozsan. This intriguing challenge will pit the two tennis players against each other, who have previously faced off once in their careers. The prior encounter was not an ATP match, but a qualifying round for the Future F2 in Sharm El Sheikh.
During that match, the then 18-year-old Marozsan triumphed over Sinner, who was still a minor, with a score of 4-6 6-2 6-1. Much has changed since then. The Hungarian tennis player has been enjoying a successful career, currently holding the 45th position.


The Italian player has now claimed the top spot in the rankings, surpassing the world number one, Novak Djokovic.
Jannik Sinner is currently experiencing a fantastic season.
In a press conference before the match, Fabian Marozsan reflected on his first impressions of the young Jannik Sinner during their initial encounter, “I remember preparing to face a very youthful Italian player and had the opportunity to observe his final games of the first match. He played with remarkable speed, entered the court with great intensity, and applied significant pressure on his opponent. I anticipated a challenging match, but felt that I had a chance to defeat him, given his young age.” He continued, “However, I did not expect him to ascend to the world number one position.”


The situation has now drastically changed: “Sinner currently stands as the most formidable tennis player. Competing at the Central is akin to being on home turf for him, whereas I have no prior experience playing here. This presents a unique challenge for me. I aim to maintain self-belief and direct my focus towards my service to the fullest extent. Perhaps on grass, I may have a better opportunity to defeat him, even if it means winning just one set, compared to other surfaces. I eagerly anticipate the match, seeking to relish this experience,” he concluded.
The Australian Open champion made it to the semifinals in this tournament last year, establishing himself as one of the frontrunners to claim the title on German soil. He will face Hungarian player Fabian Marozsan in the round of 16.
Following his debut on this grass tour, the Australian Open champion shared his initial impressions as he prepares to participate in the upcoming Wimbledon, the third Major tournament of the season.
