The triumph at the Australian Open is already behind us, Jannik Sinner is planning the future. The 22-year-old Italian tennis player is now aiming for the crown of Novak Djokovic In the ATP rankingbut in addition to the world number one Serbian will also have to overcome Carlos Alcaraz and Russian Daniil Medvedev who he defeated in the final played at Rod Laver Arena of Melbourne (here are the new rankings updated with the Italian's gap from the top 3 in the world). The road is still long and it won't be easy anyway, because the competition is fierce and motivated to take revenge on the 22-year-old South Tyrolean champion as soon as possible. Jannik Sinner's next commitments? In the meantime, the Sanremo issue needs to be resolved.

However, Amadeus does not give up and continues to hope to convince him. “Everyone asks me, obviously there is the great joy of seeing you in Sanremo” the presenter said in a social video. The host of the Festival launches an appeal to Sinner: “You don't have to sing, you don't have to dance, you just have to get the standing ovation from the entire Ariston theater and a big round of applause from all the Italians you've driven crazy in recent months. Come to Sanremo whenever you want, on one of the five evenings. I know that a public invitation is unusual, but a champion like you must be embraced and applauded in Sanremo. I await your reply. Hi Jannik, you're number one.”

Sinner's focus is to continue the climb towards the top of world tennis and continue a season full of great commitments as best as possible: 3 Slams still to play (Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open), i 9 Master 1000 (starting on March 6th with Indian Wells, then Miami from the 20th and obviously in the spring also the Tennis Internationals in Rome from May 8th), the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin (where the dream is to see him triumph after the final lost to Djokovic in November), perhaps dreaming of an encore in Davis Cup with Italy.

This is why Sinner plans his year with extreme rationality and, having just won the Australian Open he chose to miss out on the Open 13 Provence in Marseille which will begin just 8 days after the triumph in Melbourne (5-11 February). Among other things, in France he wouldn't even have to defend points given that last year due to a feverish attack he had to withdraw before the round of 16 match against home tennis player Arthur Fils. Organizers hope to replace him in the draw with Australian Open semi-finalist Alexander Zverev.
