Jannik Sinner stumbles but doesn't fall

Jannik Sinner made a successful start to the hard court tournament in Canada, which is worth almost 6 million US dollars. After a bye in round one, he defeated Adrian Mannarino (ATP 70) after a successful comeback with 2:6, 6:4, 6:2. The duel between the number 7 seed from Pusteria and the experienced Frenchman lasted 2 hours and 5 minutes.

Mannarino got off to a much better start on Court Rogers, the second largest stadium at the tennis facility in Montreal. After the successful qualification and his first round victory, he seemed much more well-rehearsed and more familiar with the relatively slow surface. Sinner, on the other hand, hardly put any pressure behind the balls and at times he even seemed at a loss. As a result, Mannarino clearly won the first set 6:2.

There was also no sign of a predicted duel between David and Goliath in the second section. Only when the score was 4:4 did Sinner suddenly pull the lever. With a break he paved the way to later winning the set. Mannarino, who had crashed his knee into an advertising space on the net towards the end of the second set, now looked injured. Sinner took advantage of this and promptly took the service from his counterpart at the beginning of the decision sentence. After that, the favorite played his thing easily. Now there's a tough nut to crack In the next round, Sinner will face the extremely strong Pablo Carreno Busta on Thursday. The Spaniard is 23rd in the world rankings, well behind the South Tyrolean (ATP 12), but he has already made people sit up and take notice in Montreal with crystal-clear two-set wins against Matteo Berrettini and Holger Rune. Sinner and Carreno Busta already met in Miami this year, when the youngster got the upper hand against the 31-year-old veteran in three sets.
