The Italian Jannik Sinner, World number one and current Australian Open champion, he barely raised his voice on the tennis court. He is sparing in expression, verbal and gestural. He prefers the ‘silent killer’ version. It kills you, sportingly, little by little.
But he also has a character when tense. I am expecting a comfortable evening session against the Australian Tristan Schoolkate23 years old and world No. 173, in his country’s Grand Slam draw thanks to an invitation.
Filmed at the Challenger ATP tournaments, struggling in previous stages, with the brutality of tennis often overshadowed by the gentler faces of the main circuit, Schoolkate wants to fully enjoy the gift of competing in the Rod Laver Arena, the headquarters of Melbourne. Park, a stadium he reached thanks to his famous and award-winning rival.
Schoolkate had the luxury of putting Jannik Sinner on the ropes for an hour or so, before normality was reflected on the scoreboard: 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 and 6-3 in 2h.46′ . The transalpine will take on the American in the sixteenth round Marcos GironArgentine executioner Tomas Martín Etcheverry 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, 3-6 and 6-4.
There were sixteen consecutive singles led by Sinner, who was annoyed when he lost his serve on the first break ball against the. At 0-40, this directly cost him the set in the tenth game of the match.
Up to 4-3 in the second set, the break was in favor, Sinner got angry. In the rage of not being dominant, the audacity of an uncomplicated opponent, when he took the stones he destroyed everything. He no longer wants a ‘Happy Slam’ for the local tennis player. The speed imposed by the Italian, even without the inspiration that completely accompanies him, ended up being unattainable by Schoolkate, not used to such a level of demand for so long.
two rounds, Sinner and Djokovic the sets have been left on the way. The candidates will raise their level as the days progress, because they are playing to win the title, in an overall plan. He has yet to lose a set (he saved one ‘in extremis’) Carlos Alcarazthat this Friday morning in Spain will face the Portuguese Nuno Borges in the round of 32, at 4 o’clock.
