balanced game

–

Balanced first set, initial exchange of breaks and then great broadsides from the baseline. The South Tyrolean tries to break through, but his slings do not come out clean from the racket and indeed it is he who has to suffer the pace and initiative of the opponent. The situation is further complicated when Sinner, in the key moment of the set, slips under 4-5, 15-40. Here, however, Jannik magically finds the serve, cancels the two set points, drags the challenge to the tie break and wins it by force by 7 points to 5. It is an open game, with an uncertain outcome and Bonzi, resuming hammering with good rhythm, understands that Sinner is not at his best.

mission accomplished

–

The Frenchman opens the second set with a break, holds up and closes the fraction with another break, demonstrating coolness and steadfast nerves. Sinner knows that now is the time to light up and he does it right at the beginning of the third set. With a gust he flies two breaks ahead. The French no longer pushes like at the beginning of the match and moreover makes several gratuitous mistakes. At 5-2, however, Sinner fails a match point, gets short-handed and is forced to keep his guard up until 5-4. This time he serves much better, keeps the delicate game and files the practice, even if he doesn’t play well, even if he suffers.

now Kyrgios

–

In the second round the South Tyrolean is expected by wild card Nick Kyrgios who bludgeoned poor Casper Ruud overcoming him with a double 6-4. After the slip of Medvedev, who in the defeat against Monfils also lost the first world position back in the hands of Novak Djokovic, another big was forced to be eliminated. This is the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas who, after a first set dominated by 6-1 against Jenson Brooksky, was sucked and beaten with an equally dry 6-3 6-2.
