It takes 11 advantage games but Sinner believes that before Miñaur “the face to face does not say everything”

Jannik Sinner did not have it easy but it came out and chained his third consecutive end in the China Open. The Italian, number two in the world, again prevailed to Alex de Miñaur 6-3, 4-6 and 6-2 in two hours and 22 minutes to advance to the final of Beijing ATP 500 and stressed that the favorable history of 11-0 does not reflect the real difficulty of their duels: “Alex is always there, the face to face does not say everything. He has been among the best for two or three years, he is a very fast and constant player. Today he played a great game and I am happy how I managed situations. ”

On the development of the meeting, the world number 2 acknowledged that the key was in the first games of the third set, when it achieved an immediate break after having yielded the second manga: “When you break input and keep your serve, everything changes. I tried to be a bit more aggressive and worked.”

The one born in San Cándido also highlighted the importance of his service, which allowed him to save eleven of the twelve breakfast balls he faced: “Today there were many positive signs, I made many direct points and I was more precise, especially in crucial moments.”

Winner of the title in 2023 and finalist in 2024 accumulates a balance of 11 victories and a single defeat in the capital of China.
