Jannik Sinner swells his chest: "Proud"
A very complicated first set, then the irresistible comeback: Jannik Sinner è qualified for the quarterfinals of Roland Garros by overcoming Frenchman Corentin Moutet in four sets in 2 hours and 44 minutes. After the match, the South Tyrolean tennis player said he was satisfied with his performance, stressing the difficulties of the match, starting with the unpredictability of his opponent, as well as the environmental factor.
" It was difficult, è a great player who plays a lot of variations. Also è left-handed and è always tough to play against them". The Blue also overcame the environmental obstacle: the crowd was all on Moutet's side.
"From the outside I give the feeling of not suffering, but the audience è was fair and impartial. It would have been strange if they had cheered for me. I am proud to have played on such an important field, the audience è extraordinary here".
Jannik Sinner will face in the quarterfinals Grigor Dimitrov, who in the other round of 16 overcame Poland's Hurkacz in three sets.
