Australian Open, Matteo Berrettini withdraws: the announcement on social media
The world number 4 has asserted his status, closing the match in 3 sets without particular difficulty. He is not yet at 100% but has nevertheless shown to be already in great shape. After an easy first set, he slightly suffered in the second but closed the games with relative tranquility in the third: he opens with 4 unexploited break points but with a decisive break in the second game he steers the victory. Now on Sinner's path will be another Dutchman, Jesper De Jong, who won in the first round against Pedro Cachin.
Jannik Sinner spoke at the end of the won match: «It was my first match of the season and it was very important to start with a victory. It's a tournament where I would like to play at the best of my abilities and I hope to improve already in the next round. I feel good physically, the first round is never easy, so I can consider myself satisfied. After the Davis Cup I went skiing, it helped me to disconnect and not think about tennis for a few days».
