His status as No. 4 seed perhaps doesn’t quite sum up the confidence he has and the level he displays. This Wednesday, Jannik Sinner confirmed that he will be one of the great entertainers of this Australian Open by crushing without incident poor Jesper de Jong, Dutch qualifier, swept away in three sets and 1h43 of play (6-2, 6 -2, 6-2). In the next round, the Italian awaits the Colombian Galan or the Argentinian Baez.
His end of the 2023 season marked a rise in power that it seems difficult to deny after such a number. The Italian experienced no dips, no moments of absence and exerted constant pressure on his opponent with length and power faithful to his habits. As a result, de Jong never really made the grade and ended up being disgusted by his opponent’s lack of flaws, particularly in serving (only ten points lost, no break points conceded). Sinner had no time to lose and entered his 3rd round with light legs but a devouring ambition, given his recent performances.
