Serenity found again
“A great match, I knew I had to play very solidly throughout the match, the serve worked great.” This is what Jannik Sinner said after his victory over O’Connell. “The eliminations of Alcaraz and Djokovic? In this sport anything can happen, I try to think day by day, every opponent is complicated and I appreciate every moment on the court. There were two big surprises, let’s see what happens, but I’m happy to still be here and I’ll try to play as many matches as possible,” he added.
