This victory extends his winning streak at the ATP 500 level to 21 matches. Sinner’s performance was impressive, especially after a tough opening set where he struggled to find his range on the return. However, he recovered well in set number two and delivered a strong performance in the decider.
Key Moments from the Match
Both players hit almost 30 service winners, but Sinner tamed his strokes more efficiently, landing 14 winners and unforced errors. Jarry, on the other hand, attacked and landed 26 direct points but also made 41 mistakes, losing ground from the baseline, especially in the decider. Sinner dropped only eight points after landing in the first serve and defended the second serve nicely, denying four of five break points.

The match was closely contested, with both players serving well in the opening six games. However, Jarry managed to break Sinner’s serve in game seven, securing a break and moving 4-3 in front. Jarry served for the opener in game ten and converted the second set point with an ace, building a 6-4 advantage after 39 minutes.

Sinner served well in the remaining games, bringing the set home with a service winner at 5-3 and leveling the overall score after an hour and 21 minutes.
Dominant Third Set

Sinner made another push on the return in game five, painting a forehand down the line winner and extending the gap. He saved three break points in the sixth game, moving 5-1 up and forcing Jarry to serve to stay in the match.
