Jannik Sinner gloats: "I played really well"

Jannik Sinner gloats after his overpowering victory with Jiri Lehecka (6-0 6-1 6-2) in the third round of Roland Garros. “I played really well, especially for two and a half sets– he admitted at the end of the match -He served very well, we knew each other well enough because we had played before, but I am very happy”.

“Yesterday was Simone’s birthday, and usually when it is his birthday I never play well – added the world number one -: luckily I did not play yesterday. Today this performance is for him and thanks as always to the audience, the’atmosphere was fantastic”.

In the round of 16 the South Tyrolean will face Andrey Rublev, who benefited from the withdrawal of Arthur Fils: “With Rublev in the next round it will be difficult. Has he not played? Days without tennis are important for recovery”.

“I think I will sleep and then we will go back on the court for an’hour so we can figure out what to improve, although seeing how I played today I think there are few things to improve” concluded Sinner.
