Monte Carlo, Sinner beats Coric 2-1

Jannik overtakes the Croatian in three sets and two and a half hours, after a stop due to an abdominal problem. Now the winner between Otte and Ruusuvuori

Jannik Sinner frightens his debut on the red of the Masters 1000 in Montecarlo. Jannik passed 2 sets to 1 Borna Coric, 6-3 2-6 6-3 without sparing us a good dose of fear. After conquering the first set, Jannik in sharp decline in the second, he began to touch his lower abdomen, calling the trainer. A few minutes of treatment for him who then returned to the field refreshed, even mentally by winning the 2nd round where he will face the winner of the match between Ruusuvuori and the German Otte.

A match certainly not easy for the Italian number 2, against a player who was returning from a long injury and an operation on his right shoulder that left him out for almost a year. Earth is not Jannik’s most loved surface which, however, remember, last year reached the round of 16 in Paris and two years ago, again at Roland Garros, he beat Zverev and stopped with Nadal.
