Jannik Sinner explains the false start

Jannik Sinner’s words after victory over Mackenzie McDonald

Jannik Sinner made it through the first round of the Us Open thanks to a four-set victory over Mackenzie McDonald of the United States (2-6 6-2 6-1 6-2). The world number one, unrecognizable in the first set, changed the inertia of the challenge in the second partial and then ramped up in the last two sets.

"The match did not è start in the best way, the first match in a big tournament is not è easy – the South Tyrolean amessoed the hot, in statements reported by SuperTennis -. I tried to get into a rhythm, I am happy with the victory and the reaction".

"Tomorrow I will have" a day of rest. We will see what he can do in the next match – added the blue -. Being able to win on the Arthur Ashe means so much to me, I thank those who è stayed to follow me and cheer for me".

Sinner will face American Alex Michelsen in the second round. The two just met at the Cincinnati Masters 1000 with the South Tyrolean winning in two sets (6-4 7-5).
