Australian Open, Jannik Sinner flies to quarters: ‘Tough match’

Big show of strength by South Tyrolean: Russian annihilated

Sinner’s path to the Australian Open continues, smoothly. The Italian, the No. 4 seed on the draw, disposed of Khachanov in three sets (6-4, 7-5, 6-3), confirming that he is in fantastic physical and mental condition. Solid match for the South Tyrolean, always super focused. In difficulty only in the second te (lasted an hour of play), in which he had to work particularly hard to bring it home (7-5).

Winning a place in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open è demonstrating that the Italian is now one of the favorites to win the first Slam of the season. It should be noted that, for the South Tyrolean, this is the sixth quarterfinal reached in his career in a Slam event. The goal è to continue to do well and further improve his record.

Definitely pleased with Sinner for his performance against Russian Khachanov: "It had been a while since we faced each other. It was a tough match, he è a great player. Mentally and physically I did everything to stay focused on the match. I am very happy but è it was difficult. We both hit hard. I try to stay calm, but inside I am not always calm…. I put on my poker face". the words of Sinner himself in the post match.
