Corentin Moutet It thrilled the French public who filled the Philippe Chatrier on Sunday for just over an hour. It was the time in which I tutored Jannik Sinner and he was even about to give him a 6-0 lead in the opening round.
Sinner, with a hip limp, was less important in the match until closing a favorable score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 y 6-1. The Italian eliminated the last local player, confirming the umpteenth failure of French tennis.
Jannik, world number two and quarterfinalist in 2020, will meet Grigor Dimitrov in the penultimate round. The Bulgarian had never before placed among the best eight in the tournament. Dimitrov beat Hubert Hurkacaz, by 7-6(5), 6-4 y 7-6(3). Sinner, champion of the Australian Open in January, chains 11 triumphs in the ‘Grand Slam’.
