"This sport is unpredictable, so we try to keep attention as much as we can and we'll see what is coming in the next round." Sinner arrived at the tournament having won the Paris Masters in November and the Indian Wells Masters title without dropping a set, with the second seed initially equalling Djokovic's record during his second-round win over Damir Džumhur. He can now extend it further on Tuesday against unseeded Michelsen, who came from a set down to beat Chile's Alejandro Tabilo 3-6 6-3 6-4. Sinner is bidding to become the first player since Roger Federer in 2017 to win the 'Sunshine Double' of Indian Wells and Miami in the same year, while Carlos Alcaraz's third-round exit on Sunday means he can further close the gap on the Spaniard in the battle for world No 1.
