Top half quarterfinal matches of the ATP Italian Open men’s singles draw will be played on Thursday in Rome. Jannik Sinner’s comeback is the main story of the week and the Italian is yet to drop a set in three matches,

The world No. 1 was rusty on his first match back after three months away. His Italian Open draw means he cannot afford to be so for long.

Sinner dominates the head-to-head. He’s 3-0 vs. Ruud, he’s won all six of sets, and he’s not letting the gap narrow. Sinner won their most recent match, on indoor hard courts at the ATP Finals last fall, 6-1 6-2. Even Ruud had to admit that he “gotten beaten pretty bad by Jannik that day.”

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner passed a big test in his return from a three-month doping ban by beating accomplished clay-court player Francisco Cerundolo 7-6 (2), 6-3 to reach the Italian Open quarterfinals.

But rust could be a factor for the world No. 1, and Carlos Alcaraz, who beat Sinner on clay at Roland Garros last year, is lurking. So is defending champion Alexander Zverev, always a force on clay.

Jannik has kept Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz behind despite missing three months of action and four Masters 1000 events. Thus, he will celebrate a notable milestone next week.
