Sinner starts strong in Miami: Djere dominated


Winning debut for Jannik Sinner at the Masters 1000 in Miami. The 21-year-old from South Tyrol, who is hunting for a place in the top ten, defeated the Serbian Laslo Djere, n. 58 in the world, reaching the third round. Sinner did not shine but still played an attentive match, leveling up every time his rival tried to put him in difficulty.

First set suffered, closed after being down by a break

The blue started contracted, committing a few unforced mistakes too many which made him slip one break (3-4) in the first half after failing to kick up the ball to make it 2-0. In the moment of greatest criticality, however, Sinner raised the level of attention, immediately recovered the break from a disadvantage and, after saving another break point at 4-4, snatched the serve from Djere in the most important moment, at the 10th game, closing at the 2nd set-point.

Now the winner of the challenge between Struff and Dimitrov

The Serbian accused the psychological backlash, he slipped under 3-0 but had a jolt of pride, recovering the break in the 5th game. At this point Sinner rearranged his game and ended up closing 6-2 with an eloquent run of 16 points to 2. The blue will return to the field on Sunday to face the winner of the match between the German Jan-Lennard Struff, n. 103, coming from the qualifiers and 'justice' at the debut of Fabio Fognini, and the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, n.27 in the ranking and 21 in the seeding.

Saturday is the turn of Berrettini, Musetti and Sonego

On Saturday, another 3 Azzurri will try to reach Sinner: Matteo Berrettini, n. 23, which debuts against the American Mackenzie McDonald, n. 55, Lorenzo Musetti making his debut against the Czech Jiri Lehecka, n. 44, and Lorenzo Sonego who, after the good success on Thiem, asks the way for the British Daniel Evans, n. 29.
