Jannik Sinner jostled by Tristan Schoolkate but qualified for the third round of the Australian Open

The series ended at 29. Winner of the last 29 sets he had played, Jannik Sinner lost a set for the first time in more than 100 days, Thursday in the second round of the Australian Open. A little surprise given the caliber of his opponent, Tristan Schoolkate, 173rd in the world and beneficiary of a wild card. But not an earthquake since, after this failed start, the world No. 1 and defending champion was able to recover to reach the third round (4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3). He will face Marcos Giron there.
