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.
