Jannik Sinner: fluent debut at the Us Open

Smooth debut for Jannik Sinner at the Us Open. The South Tyrolean tennis player defeated German Yannick Hanfmann in three sets with scores of 6-3 6-1 6-1 in two hours and twenty minutes.

A rocket start by the Italian number one immediately put a match that was never in dispute on the downhill slope. The world number six, dominant both on serve and in response, never gave his opponent a chance to get into the match and won the match without losing serve once.

In the second round, the South Tyrolean will face compatriot Lorenzo Sonego, who è won in his debut over American Nicolas Moreno De Alboran, with the scores of 6-3 6-4 6-2.

Post-match, Sinner did not hide his satisfaction with the performance he delivered: "I am satisfied, I think I played a very positive match. After Cincinnati we had a couple of days of rest, then we started a very hard week of work. Both physically and tennis-wise on the court I felt very good".
