The two-time defending Sofia Open champion Jannik Sinner confirmed his participation in the 2022 edition! The fairytale of the Italian talent started in Sofia in 2020 when he became the first player born in 2001 to win an ATP singles title. In 2021 Sinner became the youngest ATP 500 winner ever after lifting the trophy in Washington. Later that year he returned to Sofia and became the first player ever to defend his Sofia Open title. In November 2021 Sinner became the first player born in the 21st century to crack the Top 10 of the Pepperstone ATP rankings. He already owns five ATP singles titles and is the youngest player to do so since Novak Djokovic (2007). Despite not yet reaching a SF of an ATP tournament in 2022, Sinner played in two Grand Slam quarterfinals – first at the Australian Open and then again in July at Wimbledon where he lost a five-set epic to the eventual winner Novak Djokovic.
Last year’s Sofia Open finalist Gael Monfils already announced his Sofia Open return. The French star is a fan favorite and comes to Bulgaria for a third time. Gael Monfils has already reached a semifinal and a final in Sofia and his ambition this year is to go one step further.
In 2019 Monfils played a fantastic quarterfinal, beating Stefanos Tsitsipas before losing to the eventual champion and current world No.1 Daniil Medvedev. Last year Gael reached the final where he was beaten by the two-time defending Sofia Open champion Jannik Sinner.
This year Monfils won the Adelaide International 1 for his 11th ATP Tour singles title. He is married to former WTA No.3 Elina Svitolina and they expect their first child in the autumn.
