Jannik Sinner, off to a flying start in Monte Carlo

Jannik Sinner is off to a flying start in his debut in the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. The South Tyrolean tennis player, in fact, already in the second round as the second seed in the seeding, handed a clear 6-1 victory to U.S. Sebastian Korda, number 27 in the ATP rankings, after only 38 minutes of play.

Sinner got off to a strong start and won the break in the opening game, then consolidated the lead (2-0), having to cancel however, two counter-break balls to Korda. In the fifth game, the South Tyrolean placed a second break, taking advantage of a few too many errors by the U.S. who also surrendered in the seventh game, giving up serve for the third time in the set. Sinner thus cashes in the partial 6-1.

"My expectations for Monte Carlo are not very high. Let’s say I will use the tournament as active training: preparation mixed with matches, I want to understand what level I am at on clay and then improve. The’goal è set on Roland Garros and then the Olympics. They are played every four years, and can’t know what’ll happen in the future: so’m on my top list’s, Sinner had said on the eve of the Principality’s Masters 1000, in the words reported’by Gazzetta dello Sport.
