Tennis: Sinner, easy debut in Sofia: Fucsovics beaten

The South Tyrolean commands the match by giving up his serve only once: in the second round the Swiss Huesler awaits him

Everything easy for Jannik Sinner at his debut in the Sofia tournament (Atp 250, 389.270 euros, fast indoor): the 19 year old South Tyrolean, number 44 in the world ranking, overtook the Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, number 55 and nine years older, that in January, in the only precedent, had eliminated him from the Australian Open. 6-2 6-4 in 1 hour of play (77 points to 61) the score for Sinner.

The blue, in the first set, made the first break in the second game, and then repeated himself in the sixth and eighth. In the second set, ahead 3-0 and 4-1, Jannik got himself back up to 4-4 (giving the seventh game the only break of the match) and then closed without more missteps. Sinner in the second round – where Salvatore Caruso had already landed on Monday – will find the Swiss lucky looser Marc-Andrea Huesler, who had overtaken the Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili.
