beats Mannarino 7-6 6-4- Corriere.it

While Matthew Berrettini
try to get going again in the Phoenix Challenger e Lorenzo Musetti forced to limit social comments and a vent after deletion a Indian Wells with heavy criticism and insults annexed, Jannik Sinner going strong. During the night, the South Tyrolean qualified for the round of 16 of the first Masters 1000 of the year, beating the Frenchman 7-6 6-4 in one hour and 47' Adrien Mannarino, who in turn eliminated Musetti, depriving us of the derby. For Sinner there would have been another challenge between new generation talents, but 2003 Holger rune did not reckon with Stan Wawrinka, who will be 38 in two weeks but still wins and enjoys himself. It will be the second time in a few weeks that Sinner and Wawrinka - who know each other very well - will be against each other, after Rotterdam, when Jannik leaves only four games to the Swiss.

None of us played our best

I expect a tough game, different from the one in Rotterdam, in which I will have to raise the level of play - he said - Stan has regained his confidence, he plays well here, he likes the conditions, and I have to recover. Many mistakes in the first set (14 for Sinner, also cold, 12 for Mannarino, annoying left-handed), with a set point canceled by the French in the tiebreak before closing 9-7. In the second, the break in the ninth game, the one he sent, was decisive sinner to serve for the match. Neither of them played at their best - again the South Tyrolean - I'm happy because in this game I needed a lot of patience and I had it". The match between Sinner and Wawrinka will be played on the Italian nighton Stadium 3: for whoever wins, there is one between Fritz and Fucsovics, in the middle of the scoreboard Carlos Alcaraz.
