Jannik starts slow then closes in two sets against the Austrian. The race for the Finals continues. Norrie ko with Aliassime. The last useful place is one step away
It made us worry. A slow start, a few mistakes too many, two break points to save. In short, a Jannik Sinner in a minor tone for the debut of the round of 16 match in Vienna against Dennis Novak. Then, once the two break points of the first set were saved, the blue started to carburetor. And for poor Novak, number 116 in the world, there was no more hope. Beaten 6-3 6-2 the Austrian now Jannik breathes a good sigh of relief in key qualification for Turin. Norrie was beaten at lunchtime by Aliassime and remained 50 points behind, while the last useful spot for the Nitto Atp Finals, Hubert Hurkacz’s eighth, is now really one step away, just 30 points. If Jannik were to beat the winner between Casper Ruud (at number 7 in the race) and Lorenzo Sonego in the quarterfinals tomorrow, he would overtake his Polish friend.
The match
–
Conquered the first set with a score of 6-3 after suffering in the first three games, the South Tyrolean beloved by the Austrian public, restarted with his foot planted on the accelerator: break at the opening and in the next round another service stolen from the host . A devastating one-two for Novak, who in a moment finds himself 4-0, then 5-1 and gives up his weapons not without a fight. At 5-2 and Sinner service, the Austrian climbs 0-30 but the final is of the blue and is a victory in two sets.
