MONTECARLO (MONACO) (ITALPRESS) – Forward even if fatigued. Despite a few passages that forced him to interrupt the long strip of won sets, he also involved some problems that necessitate the intervention of the doctor in the third set, Jannik Sinner for the fourth time in career is among the best eight tennis players of the “Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters”, third “1000” season, equipped with a prize pool of 6.309.095 euros, which is playing on the red ground of the Country Club of Monte-Carlo.
After leaving just three games to the Frenchman Humbert in the debut match, the 24-year-old South Tyrolean imposes himself on the Czech Tomas Machac, number 53 of the world, for 6-1 6-7(3) 6-3. Dominated the first set, the blue gives for two times the service in the second where it goes under 2-5, then reassembled but surrenders to the tie-break. In the third part, however, he finds strokes and rhythm even if the intervention of the doctor for him and the physiotherapist for Machac is necessary. In the end, however, it’s the South Tyrolean to poke it, closing the accounts in two hours and a minute of play.
