Jannik Sinner played during the night with Jesper De Jong and obtained the passage to the next round. What caused a stir, however, were not the three sets won 6-2, 6-2 and 6-2. The South Tyrolean tennis player stood out thanks to two gestures that demonstrated to everyone the maturity and class of the n°4 in the ATP ranking. A great example of fairplay by the twenty-two-year-old who showed concern not only for the match, but also for the opponent.
The phone and the racket
During a serve by De Jong, a phone rang in the stands with the ball ending up out of the court. So Jannik asked the opponent if he wanted to repeat and he refused not expecting that kindness. Then, after a very exciting exchange, Jesper falls to the ground and loses the racket with Sinner who immediately goes to the opponent who picks it up. In the next round, the Italian will face Baez, n° 29 of the ATP.
