TennisSection previews the 2022 Miami Open as Jannik Sinner takes on Emil Ruusuvuori in the second round on Friday, March 25th, 2022.
Last year’s finalist Jannik Sinner will begin his quest to return to the final Sunday at the Miami Open. The Italian takes on Finland’s finest in Emil Ruusuvuori. Will Sinner’s power prove a handful against a player who will certainly fight fire with fire at the 2022 Miami Open?
Jannik Sinner received a bye in the opening round and returns to the scene of what should have been the finest two weeks of his young tennis career. Sinner had destroyed almost all comers on his Miami Open main draw debut in 2021, but his best tennis eluded him when he needed it most. He lost to his good friend Hubert Hurkacz in the final. Sinner will enter this year’s edition with much higher expectations that at this stage last season. He sits at No. 12 in the rankings and is now an established ATP main event player. It is pertinent to note that the 20-year-old withdrew from his fourth-round match at Indian Wells last week against Nick Kyrgios due to illness.
Emil Ruusuvuori, meanwhile, returned to winning ways. He withstood the big serve of Maxime Cressy in what turned out to be a pretty straight forward opener at the 2022 Miami Open. Ruusuvuori reached the Miami Open fourth round last season, scoring high quality wins over the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev before falling to Jannik Sinner. As fate would have it, he has a shot at redemption when he takes on the Italian on Friday at the Miami Open.
Jannik Sinner leads the head-to-head against Emil Ruusuvuori 2-0. As mentioned at the top of the article, Sinner ended the Finn’s interest at the Miami Open last season. And he would go on to defeat Ruusuvuori on American soil at the Citi Open later during the year. Sinner looks poised to keep his unbeaten record against Ruusuvuori intact when they clash on Friday although a hugequestion mark remains pertaining his fitness after last week’s retirement at Indian Wells.
