Sinner masters the start on the pitch

In a sunny 25 degrees Celsius, Jannik Sinner (ATP 9) and Alexander Bublik (ATP 47) stepped onto the pitch at the ATP 14.30 tournament in 's-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands) shortly after 250:673.630 p.m. The South Tyrolean was keen to make amends after the disappointment at the French Open (it ended in the second round) and the grass opener of the tournament worth 21 euros could be a welcome change of scenery for the 6-year-old - even though this surface is not his specialty heard. Sinner succeeded in this endeavor and defeated his opponent 4:6 and 2:XNUMX.

Sinner began the first sentence with a lot of commitment. He immediately put Bublik in trouble on his first serve games and earned three break points - only the decisive point didn't work out. The South Tyrolean then took advantage of opportunity number four when the score was 3:3 and took the serve from the Kazakh for the first time. The South Tyrolean thus clinched the first set, even though Bublik tried to throw Sinner off his game by constantly swearing at the referee and various antics such as sudden serves from below.

After the Kazakh's frustration increased during the break and the referee even had to call a tournament official onto the court in response to his tirades, Sinner continued to have the upper hand in the rallies in the second set. Immediately when the score was 1:1, the 21-year-old got the next break. Bublik now seemed broken and Sinner promptly took another serve from the 25-year-old. After an hour and 25 minutes, Jannik Sinner celebrated his triumph and left the field with the deserved score of 6:4 and 6:2.

The Finn Emil Ruusuvuori (ATP 42), who beat Ugo Humbert (ATP 36) 6:2, 6:7 and 6:4 a few hours earlier, is now waiting in the quarterfinals. The match takes place on Friday.
