Sinner makes a successful debut

Jannik Sinner wants to get back to her best.

Having missed out on the Olympic Games and been an unfortunate quarter-finalist in Montreal, the Italian wants to do better, he has to do better.

This week in Cincinnati, the Transalpine managed his goals with the utmost seriousness.

Facing Alex Michelsen, ranked 57th in the world and a qualifier, he didn't force his talent, but simply raised his game in the important moments to win in less than 2 hours (6-4, 7-5).

Aggressive from the baseline (29 winners) and efficient on serve (9 aces, 0 breaks conceded), Sinner reaches the last 16 where a certain Jordan Thompson awaits him.
