    Halle Open: Jannik Sinner Edges Past Griekspoor On World No.1 Debut

    The Australian Open: Jannik Sinner battled past Tallon Griekspoor 6-7(8), 6-3, 6-2 in a tense opening match at the Halle Open. The Italian playing his first grass-court match of the season and debuting as World No. 1 overcame a shaky start to secure victory.

    Sinner struggled early, failing to convert set points in the first-set tie-break and facing break points in the second. A turning point came at 2-2 in the second set, where Sinner saved a break and unleashed a diving forehand passing shot that sparked his comeback.

    "It was for sure mentally tough, I was 5/1 up in the tie-break in the first set. But this can happen, especially on this surface, it can go very, very fast. I think I was good mentally. I was struggling in the second set, 0/40 down on my serve. If he makes that point, it is even more difficult. But it's all about trying to get the confidence back, especially on this surface and I have shown that. Hopefully, I can show some good tennis also in the next round," said Sinner following
