A match to dispel all doubts, a match to restart the hunt for number 1. Sinner begins his adventure at Roland Garros today at 11am. On the other side of the net is the American Eubanks, six years older, with whom he has already won once. But it’s a challenge within the challenge: yes, because the blue Slam player will have the opportunity to test his hip for the first time in an official match. Jannik hasn’t played since the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo: in the meantime he has been treated at J Medical and in Paris he has a real chance of rising to number 1 in the world. If Djokovic stops before the semi-final, the tennis throne is practically in his pocket. The winner will face wild card Richard Gasquet in the second round, who beat Coric in three sets.
Meanwhile, yesterday a good performance by Lorenzo Sonego, who beat the Frenchman Ugo Humbert. The Turin player prevailed in four sets over the world no.17, with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, and in the next match he will face the Chinese Zhizhen Zhang, no.44, who ‘he defeated in the only previous match. He instead lost to the Frenchman Muller Luca Nardi (6-4, 6-1, 6-3).
The Azzurri on the pitch today. Not before 12.40 Arnaldi finds the Frenchman Fils; Mattia Bellucci challenges Tiafoe; Fognini faces Van Der Zandschulp and Musetti the Romanian Galan.
