Some Sinner’s opponents ironized after their respective Parisian Scopples. Even Djokovic did not escape: “I was afraid of remedying a 6-0 …”
After 55 minutes of the game, Jiri Lehecka has already sensed that he had to pay attention to the flights from Charles De Gaulle. On the other side of the network there is Jannik Sinner who leads 6-0 5-0 and the feeling is that he will have no distractions: the Czech spots the service, the blue misses the answer and finally Lehecka conquers a game. He rejoices with arms raised, the public pays him a standing ovation of ironic compassion. He becomes a snapshot to give to social networks an hour later, waiting for the flight from Charles de Gaulle: “This photo summarizes the whole match today. Do you think that in this circumstance I had just won the match or a set? But no, this is the reaction when he takes home a game against Jannik Sinner”. If there was a ranking of self -irony, Lehecka and several other Sinner opponents could aim for the finals. The Czech, among other things, does not get away badly even with the predictions: “When Jannik is in these conditions he can only stop him alcaraz”. That is the other finalist of Roland Garros.
Bublik’s genius
–
“Jannik Sinner in the next round? I think I’m in trouble …”. Andrey Rublev had taken it on laughing him a year and a half, during the Australian countryside that led to the first Slam of the blue. He did not go much better to the round of 16 of Roland Garros: 6-1 6-3 6-4 and two jokes at the press conference: “I take it on laughing because I had no possibility. He does not give you anything”. Irony that characterized, in the next round, also that great genius of Alexander Bublik: in the quarterfinals his challenge with Sinner was really fought only for a set, the second (finished 7-5 for Jannik). The other two? One-way: 6-1 6-0. The Kazakh, among the cheapest on the circuit, on Instagram had its personal revenge: “Guys, I almost beaten it”. And down laugh.
Ruud’s sketch
–
Far from a walk was the semifinal. Djokovic raised the wall for over three hours and a quarter, in spite of his 38 years. No 6-0, nothing 6-1, but three sets struggled with Tie break at the last. The Serbian came out among the applause and a joke wanted to unhook him too, at the conference: “I am sincere, I was afraid of remedying a 6-0. I see that Jannik trimmed several, in this tournament”. It is the sign of the times: Djokovic can also know fear. Of course, now you no longer laugh: the clash with Alcaraz satisfies every tennis enthusiast for the first historic Slam final between the two. In Carlos, Bagels will hardly be reflected as happened in the last three weeks of tournaments: between Rome and Paris Sinner, it has baked five, 6-0. The first arrived in the quarterfinals of the International, against his friend Casper Ruud: when, in the second set, the Norwegian won the first game of the match exulted like a madman, tearing a smile also from the cannibal on the other side of the net. Ruud closed Rome with a laugh and in the same way, ten days later, he opened his (unfortunate) campaign to Roland Garros: “What did I do after the international ones? I went to Norway to play with those who are not at the level of Jannik”.
