Sinner passes Berrettini's mental test

Jannik Sinner didn't take it easy on Wednesday. Faced with his compatriot Matteo Berrettini in the second round, he had to work hard to qualify.

Ill-treated by a very aggressive opponent who was brilliant on serve (66 winners, 28 aces, 45 unforced errors), Sinner needed almost 4 hours of battle to win (7-6, 7-6, 2-6, 7-6).

Managing the decisive games to perfection, the world No.1 impressed and reached the third round in style.

For a place in the last 16, he will face Kecmanovic, who defeated Griekspoor (4-6, 7-6, 1-6, 6-2, 6-3).
