Jannik Sinner, horror start: overwhelmed in the first set!
Jannik Sinner, horror start: overwhelmed in the first set!
A too-bad-to-be-true Jannik Sinner lost 6-2 in the first set of his match against Frenchman Corentin Moutet, valid for the third round of Roland Garros. The South Tyrolean tennis player è got off to a terrible start, immediately suffering a break, and then committing a series of errors that allowed his opponent to repeat.
In fact, Moutet, world number 79, broke the world number two again in the third and fifth partials to the delight of the audience in the stands of the Chatrier, who were almost incredulous at the departure of their favorite.
Sinner, in total blackout, gave the first signs of awakening in the sixth game, when he è managed to recover a break, but then still surrendered 6-2: è the first set lost in the tournament by Jannik, now called for immediate redemption.
