Since Andrey Rublev: Two weeks after his five-set defeat to Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner returned to winning ways on his Qatar Open debut with a solid 6-1, 6-4 win over Tomas Machac at the hard-court ATP 500 event.

With his 70-minute victory, the second seed extended his winning streak at this level to 11 matches, having won titles in Beijing and Vienna last October.

During his dominant first-set win, Sinner lost only six points on serve and calmly dealt with Machac’s strong start to the second set. He missed three match points while returning in the ninth game, a thrilling exchange filled with big winners from both players. Sinner then closed out the match confidently on his own serve.
