AUSTRALIAN OPEN By Gabriel Matteazzi
Italy’s Jannik Sinner, 23, showcased his signature consistency with a commanding 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over Marcos Giron under the lights at Rod Laver Arena. The two-hour, one-minute match marked Sinner’s quickest victory in his 2025 Melbourne campaign, providing a timely boost of confidence as he advances to the second week of a Grand Slam for the 15th time in his career
He said:
“I am very happy to be in the next round. Every match has its own difficulties. Today I felt like he was very solid from the back of the court when he served well. I still have room to improve, but every win is great, especially in these conditions. As always, thank you so much for your support, it’s amazing to play night sessions here».
“Today the percentage of my net game was not really good, but I try to improve, it’s part of the game. Sometimes I feel things a little bit better, sometimes worse, that’s normal. Trying to stay there mentally is the most important aspect. Hopefully in the next round I am able to raise my level, but I’m still very happy.”
Awaiting Sinner next in his quest for a third consecutive hard-court major title is World No. 13 Holger Rune, who rallied for a 6-7(5), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 win over Miomir Kecmanovic.
“I have no idea how I won, I could not have done it without the fantastic crowd. I was feeling super exhausted but you guys lifted me up, so thank you from the bottom of my heart»
“I was so tired so I needed to find a solution. I wasn’t able to run 15 balls side to side, so I had to go for it when I had the chance. Miomir had an amazing match, we played a couple of times before and he is just a big competitor, so credit to him.”
