INTERVIEW: J. Sinner; Indian Wells 2R

INDIAN WELLS, Calif.—As you've probably heard by now, Jannik Sinner is yet to lose a match in 2024.

A day after claiming his Indian Wells opener, the Australian Open champion carried over his winning ways to the doubles court with good friend Lorenzo Sonego.

In front of a bursting Stadium 6 full of energetic fans, the Italian duo pulled away from Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev, 7-5, 6-1, after their opponents failed to serve out the first set at 5-4. And they had plenty of fun along the way as darkness fell over Tennis Paradise Saturday evening.

After a close first set, Sinner and Sonego poured it on in set two.

The two couldn't help but laugh for an extended period when Sonego finished off a 30-40 point they had no business winning in securing a double break in the second set.

The 2023 Davis Cup champion teammates had reason to smile when they went on an eight-game tear to blow the contest wide open.

When it came time to serve for the encounter, who better than Mr. Undefeated to close it out?

Sonego and Sinner did not face a break point in their dominant second set.

Even Rublev couldn't help but grin when he embraced Sinner at the net.

The two will meet No. 5 seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos next, likely scheduled for Monday.

Sinner acknowledged the loudest group of supporters before signing autographs for a lucky block of fans on his way out.
