Jannik Sinner wins the Halle tournament, ATP 500 played on grass. The world number 1 beat the Polish Hubert Hurkacz (n.9) in two sets in the final. Score 7-6(10/8), 7-6(7/2).
“I knew I had to serve well, and when I succeeded with the second serve I took advantage of it. In general, I then tried to play well in the important moments. Having won my first tournament on grass is a good feeling” he said Sinner commenting on his victory in the tournament in Halle, Germany, the first Italian to do so. “Now it’s Wimbledon and I can’t wait. Last year I reached the semi-final – continued the world number 1 – this time we’ll see but I’ll certainly have more confidence on this surface. The grass there is a bit different but I will have a week to prepare.”
Lorenzo Musetti’s dream of winning the London tournament at Queen’s fades away. The Italian number 30 in the world was beaten by the American Tommy Paul, number 13, in two sets, with a score of 6-1, 7-6.

Sinner: “It will still be a good day”
“I won four tough matches, it’s a good preparation for Wimbledon; then next week I won’t play and it will be good for me and my body”: these are the words of Jannik Sinner at the end of the match with Zhang Zhizhe. “It was a tough match, with more rallies than yesterday and that’s what I needed – added the South Tyrolean – Today Zhang played well. He served and returned well, I had to be very careful, I saved a set point in the second. But anything can happen on grass.” Speaking about today’s final which will see him challenge his doubles partner, the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, Sinner concluded, “it will be very balanced, he plays very well on grass. It will still be a good day, I’ll try to have fun, I hope to show some good tennis. We know each other well – she then added to the Sky SPort microphones – we’ll see how it goes. Knowing him he will prepare very well, in official matches he always raises the level of his game. I’m happy to play this final, then we’ll see how it goes.”
