Aus Open: Sinner Survives Early Test To Begin Title Defense
Rod Laver Arena: World No. 1 Jannik Sinner emerged victorious 7-6(2), 7-6(5), 6-1 against Chile’s Nicolas Jarry at Rod Laver Arena to book his place in the second round of the Australian Open on Monday.
The Italian, back at the site of his maiden Grand Slam triumph, admitted the match could have gone either way in the early stages. "I think today was a very close one because the first sets, they can go both ways," Sinner said. "In the third set, when I broke him the first time, that gave me a little bit of room to breathe. He is an incredible player, huge potential, so I'm happy how I handled the very tough situation in the first couple of sets and happy to be in the next round."
Jarry, ranked No. 36 in the ATP Rankings, was a formidable first-round opponent. Buoyed by a lively contingent of Chilean supporters, he pressed Sinner early, generating two break points in the opening set.
