Jannik Sinner gets his comeback under way on home court!
Home favorite, Jannik Sinner, makes his much-awaited comeback to the tour after 3 months with a round of 64 clash against Argentine Mariano Navone.
The atmosphere in Rome will be nothing short of electric as the Italian puts the doping ban behind him and continues along the path of glory.
Of course, since Sinner has been out of action following the Australian Open, there is not much to discuss about his recent form. However, his successful defense of the first Grand Slam of the year will no doubt give him plenty of confidence.
The Argentine, however, has played 23 matches this year and has mixed in a couple of wonderful performances along the way, with his first-round loss to Jack Draper at the Australian Open being a memorable 5-set thriller.
Jannik Sinner and Mariano Navone will be facing each other for the first time on tour. As there is nothing to compare about the two in a head-to-head matchup, let us see some other details below.
As far as comparisons between the two go, the only similarity is in their ages. As far as performances are concerned, Sinner is miles ahead of his opponent, having won numerous big titles such as 3 Slams along with the number one ranking.
The Argentine, ranked 99 in the world, has not had much success at this level. It will be interesting to see whether he can improve his game and take on the big names of the sport.
| Jannik Sinner | Category | Mariano Navone |
| 1 | Ranking | 99 |

| 7-0 | YTD W-L | 10-13 |
| 19 | Career Titles | 0 |

The World number one, in his first match on court after 3 months, could come out of the gates a bit rusty. But with massive support from the Italian crowd, expect this match to be an exciting one.
The first set could be a tight affair as Sinner settles down, but eventually, he should pull through comfortably in the end.
