Roland Garros: Jannik Sinner gets off to a good start against Grigor Dimitrov
Great start for Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner started his Roland Garros quarterfinal match in the best possible way and made the first set his own against Grigor Dimitrov, ending the fraction 6-2 after 35 minutes of play. It was a decidedly different performance from the eighth against Moutet, which however Sinner had managed to overturn after a complex start.
The decisive games against the Bulgarian were the third and fifth: Sinner won them both, on his opponent’s serve, at the advantages, thus creating a groove from which Dimitrov could not recover. All easy then in the following games, the San Candido native leaving only crumbs to his opponent under the Paris sun.
Sinner è made it to the quarterfinals of Roland Garros by beating, one after the other, American Christopher Eubanks 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-4, 6-2, 6-4, Russian Pavel Kotov 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 and the other transalpine Corentin Moutet 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-1.
Dimitrov, on the other hand, overcame, in the previous rounds, American Aleksandar Kovacevic 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, Hungary's Fabian Maroszan 6-0, 6-3, 6-4, Belgium's Zizou Bergs 6-3, 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-4 and finally Poland's Hubert Hurkacz 7-6(5), 6-4, 7-6(3), in a very hard-fought match.
