The 22-year-old from South Tyrol won with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in two hours and 41 minutes
In a two-sided match, which started badly for the South Tyrolean tennis player, Jannik Sinner loses the first set of his tournament, but advances to the quarter-finals of Roland Garros, the second Grand Slam round of the season, on the clay courts of the Bois de Boulogne Paris. The 22-year-old from South Tyrol, number 2 in the world and second seed, surpasses the 25-year-old Frenchman Corentin Moutet, number 79 in the ATP ranking, with the score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in two hours and 41 minutes.
Sinner will face the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, number 10 in the world and seeded, on Tuesday. Sinner is getting ever closer to world first position: regardless of the current number one’s result in Paris, the 37-year-old Serbian Novak Djokovic will only need to win the next two matches and reach the final to have the mathematical certainty of leading the ATP ranking from next June 10th.
