Jannik Sinner makes no mistakes against Marcos Giron. In two hours of play, the world number one wins against the American with the result of 6-3 6-4 6-2. “Happy to be in the next round”, begins the world number one to Jim Courier on Rod Laver Arena: “He served the first ball well, I had some initial difficulty responding. Let’s see what comes in the next round. I mentally try to stay on track, which is the most important thing for us Tennis players. If I want to continue in this tournament, I have to improve.”

SLEEP

—

When the former American tennis player is on the court, the reunion with the players is always just around the corner. This moment also arrives with Sinner, in response to the question: “What do you do before the match?”. Thus a sleepy Jannik turns out. “I usually relax twenty minutes beforehand, I try to sleep as much as possible, this night I rested for 10 hours. Half an hour before the match I sleep, but I wake up when it counts. – says number one, generating hilarity in the audience – I get physically active for half an hour. Today I arrived at half past two and I’m leaving at half past eleven, then back to bed.”
