Cincinnati: two wasted match points, Jannik Sinner eliminated

The South Tyrolean surrenders in three sets (2-6 7-6 (1) 6-1)

A lot of disappointment on Sinner’s face at the end of his match with Auger-Aliassime, valid for access to the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati tournament. The Italian played good tennis (especially in the first set) and even earned two match points that he wasted badly. In the third set, comes the collapse: 6-1 for the opponent and tournament over for the Alto Adige native.

Thanks to this important victory, the 22-year-old Canadian is already number 8 in the world. Now he will face Coric, who did well to get rid of Bautista Agut. Heavy defeat, on the other hand, for Sinner, who will certainly lose a position in the ATP ranking, slipping to No. 13.
