Jannik Sinner showcased an impressive performance, concluding his match with 39 winners against just nine errors, while only encountering one break point. The Italian expressed satisfaction with his gameplay, stating, “It was a very great match from my side. I think the start of each set, with an early break he gave me, then the confidence to keep going, and I’m very happy about today’s match.”
Sinner noted that he felt in good form from the start, which has fans speculating on the competition between the tournament’s top seeds, Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. After their third-round matches, Sinner appears to have the upper hand. While Alcaraz lost a set to Damir Dzumhur and was challenged significantly, Sinner has maintained a perfect 9-0 set record without being stretched to a tiebreaker. His recent opponent, Jiri Lehecka, ranked No. 34, was the highest-ranked he has faced so far, and Sinner adapted his game effectively.
Sinner’s success can be attributed to his efficient style of play. He emphasizes consistency over flashy shots; although he doesn’t serve many aces, he achieved an impressive 83 percent win rate on his first serve. His strategy focuses on deep, central returns, capitalizing on openings only when moving forward. This approach has proved advantageous during the initial stages of the Grand Slam tournament, as Sinner pointed out the importance of minimizing time spent on the court.
Looking forward, Sinner is set to face Andrey Rublev in the next round, and his current form suggests he’ll be a formidable opponent. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if he can continue this trend of dominance as the tournament progresses.
