The third set can always swing one way or the other," Sinner analyzes his match against Atmane

Despite initially being a heavy favorite against Térence Atmane, Jannik Sinner was forced by the Frenchman to play a third set after losing the second set 7-5.

When asked about his mindset going into that decisive set, the Italian replied: "Well, there are always concerns. I mean, the third set can always swing one way or the other, especially with big servers.

If he breaks you early in the set, then serves very well, then... I mean, the match isn't over until it's over. He was very confident in the third set. I managed to play the first game well to break his serve, which gave me the necessary confidence to manage the set.

After the double break, it was a bit different. The atmosphere had settled down. Physically too, a bit. It was a very difficult challenge today.
