A top talent stops Seppi – Sinner has tasted blood

It was a Duel of the generations: Here the 37-year-old veteran Andreas Seppi (ATP 88), there the 20-year-old top talent Felix Auger-Aliassime, who is ranked 15th in the ATP rankings. In the end, the Canadian prevailed 2:6, 6:2, 6:2 after two hours of play.

Andreas Seppi had a strong, if not ideal, start to the match. The Kalterer presented himself flawlessly on his own serve and rarely offered the young wild one chances on the other side. The Überetscher promptly took the Canadian's serve twice and used the set point to make it 37-6 after 2 minutes.

A slip that Auger-Aliassime didn't like at all. That's why he then turned up the heat as if he had been bitten by a tarantula. He repeatedly embarrassed Seppi when he served and promptly put the 37-year-old under pressure when he served. The result: The tennis talent from Montreal, who won a match on the tour as a 14-year-old, won the set 6-2.

In the third period, errors increased on both sides, with Auger-Aliassime having the lower rate. He took Seppi's serve three times and also won this set 6:2. Sinner gains self-confidence in doubles Jannik Sinner was also in action on Wednesday night, namely in doubles with the American Sebastian Korda. After his first Double triumph in Atlanta a few days ago The young Sesto native apparently tasted blood, because he also won the opening match in Washington: Despite a false start, the South Tyrolean and the US boy prevailed against the duo Benoit Paire/Jackson Withrow with 1:6, 6:4, 13:11 . In the quarterfinals, the two will face the winner of the match Kyrgios/Tiafoe against Bopanna/Doig.

But the singles match is much more important for Sinner than the doubles: The soon-to-be 20-year-old enjoyed a bye in the first round and will now face the Finn Emil Ruusuvuori (ATP 69). The Pusterer wants to end his negative streak: he recently lost his opening match three times in a row. The game is scheduled for 21.30:XNUMX p.m. (CEST).
