Henri Laaksonen, Sisyphus in New York

The only Swiss in the US Open men’s table made it through the first round. Monday, at the opening of the New York tournament, Henri Laaksonen beat Australian John Millman in three sets (7-6 7-6 6-1). Coming from qualifying, the Schaffhausen player was not necessarily very good but he relied on his service to hold out during two very balanced first sets, each time won in the tie-break, before seeing his opponent multiply unforced errors. in the third round.

To reread: And “Droopy” Laaksonen became “Henri”
