China Open: Jannik Sinner concerned about balls too slow
Jannik Sinner also got rid of Fabian Marozsan, clinching a place in the semifinals at the China Open. A match, the one with the Hungarian, in which the world number 2 struggled, especially in the second set, won 7-5 after his opponent served for the set at 5-4.
“In the first set I played well, in the second set we both played at a high level. I had break chances at 4-3 but did not take advantage of them. He then served for the set but made some mistakes. I tried to change but it was difficult. We played at a high level but I am satisfied”, the blue’s words in the post-match.
Now, on Jannik Sinner’s way, there’is friend Alex De Minaur. The record is all in favor of the South Tyrolean who, however, is worried by a no small detail: “These courts are quite unique, they are quite slow. The balls are slow. It is not easy to get point directly”.
On the confrontation with the Australian, Jannik Sinner keeps his guard up: “It will be a great challenge. Alex has improved so much in the last few months. He has played so many tournaments and has done well. I expect a tough match”, the closing words of the blue who, in Beijing, won two years ago (last year he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the final).
