Italy's world champion Sinner

"I'm very happy, he's great on the serve and on the baseline, it's very difficult to break on this kind of court. Mentally glad to have dealt with these tricky situations, the first set could have gone into a tie-break and then anything would have happened. In this ATP 500 grass court event, Sinner spent 92 minutes to open in straight sets against Hanfman, "I was very happy with my performance. Race 1 on grass is never easy, and Race 2 and Race 3 are the same, so let's see what happens in the next round. ”

Sinner faced 2023 Kazakhstan's Alexander Bablik in the round of 16, and although he led 4-1 in the professional battle, the 23-year-old top seed did not dare to beat him, "He's a talented, he's a very talented player, and grass is his favorite venue, he beat me in Halle two years ago and won the title, so I have to try to stay calm and focused, and hopefully it's going to be a good match." ”
