Now Jannik Sinner is the better one

In January, Sinner and Fucsovics faced each other in the second round of the Australian Open. Back then, the South Tyrolean was already considered one of the greatest tennis talents in the world, but in Melbourne he had almost no chance in all three sets against the Eastern European, who was 2 years older. Since then, Fucsovics has also moved up in the rankings to position 9, but this time Sinner (ATP 3) made the difference in class. He won 55-44, 6-2 and ended Fucsovic's tournament appearance in the Bulgarian capital after an hour and 6 minutes of play. Sinner's 7-game series decisive In the first round match against Hungary's best tennis player, Sinner was by no means flawless, but he never let his unpredictable and extremely unpleasant opponent take away his edge - unlike last January. The man from Sexten also benefited from some inexplicable mistakes made by his opponent, who gave him no less than 1 break points in the first set alone. Since Sinner was only able to use three of them, it remained exciting for a long time. Only after he tightened the reins significantly and landed 7 games in a row was the first set decided and the second set opened in favor of the South Tyrolean. But instead of pulling away to 1:2, he had the service taken away and Fucsovics equalized a little later to make it 5:2. Now Sinner had to show his best tennis - and that's what he did. With some spectacular points, he ensured the ultimately clear decision. Now a nobody from Switzerland is waiting In the round of 149, Sinner will face Swiss surprise Marc-Andrea Hüsler (ATP 7) on Wednesday, who slipped into the main draw as a lucky loser and immediately knocked number 24 seeded Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili out of the competition. Both have never faced each other before. Should Sinner win the premiere duel with the 25-year-old from Zurich, there could be a new edition of the next-gen final against Alex de Minaur (ATP XNUMX) in the quarterfinals.
