White flag of Rublev
–
Tonight, Andrey Rublev, who had to raise the white flag in three sets without the possibility of opposing an unleashed sinner. The Russian, who for a few months has also been followed by Marat Safin, was however good not to get lost in his moments of self -harm, trying to put together what he could to stem the South Tyrolean power, capable of moving the ball by sending it in every corner at full speed.

The match
–
The game has little to say, players who seem to belong to two different categories. Yet at the start, Andrey had seemed to seem more aggressive and motivated, forcing Sinner to cancel two break balls. The ambitions of the former Top5 end up there. In the second game comes the first break of the first partial. Sinner also repeats himself in the 4th and only in the sixth game, after canceling a set point, Rublev manages to avoid the Bagel keeping the service for the first time. Sinner closes the first set 6-1 in 25 minutes of absolute domain in the service, in response, to the network. Rublev manages to better contain the assaults of the South Tyrolean in the second set: on 1-1, however, the balance breaks and the 40-0 Russian is reassembled by yielding the service. Without being able to reassemble. The second set closes 6-3 in 39 minutes. The possibilities that Russian can trigger a comeback seem to be remote, however Rublev becomes more aggressive, so much so that in the 5th game, on the 2-2, the first break ball arrives after those had in the first game. Sinner places a body service to get off the trouble, and a slap in straight and then seal the 3-2 with another excellent first. It will be the only thrill of the set, because Sinner does not want to play a tie break. He wants to go to sleep early and so, on 5-4, he torn the comeback joke from the Russian and closes 6-4. Implacable Jannik.
