PARIS (France) – Jannik Sinner debuts with a comfortable success at Roland Garros. The blue tennis player easily archived the unripe match Christopher Eubanks with the score of 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 after 2 hours and 10 minutes. More than a match it was a good training for Jannik given the American’s enormous difficulties on clay, Jannik who was able to play, test his conditions by moving very well and try all his shots. A few too many errors in the 3rd set especially when he tried to close the rallies quickly. In the 2nd round Sinner will face the veteran home favorite Richard Gasquet fresh from the surprising victory against Borna Coric.
