Ruthless Sinner: Advances to the Third Round of the Australian Open

Jannik Sinner Advances Dominantly in the Australian Open

Jannik Sinner continues his path at the Australian Open with a firm step, seeking his third crown in the tournament. In a match that lasted one hour and 49 minutes, Sinner defeated the Australian James Duckworth in the second round, with partials of 6-1, 6-4 and 6-2, adding his fourteenth consecutive victory. In the next phase, the Italian player will face the American Eliot Spizzirri, who achieved a victory in five sets against the Chinese Yibing Wu. Sinner, with this victory, accumulates seventeen wins on the circuit and has not experienced defeat since his match with the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor in the Masters 1000 of Shanghai last year. The Italian has shown superiority over Duckworth in three of the four matches they have had.

Without having participated in tournaments prior to the Australian Open and after his exhibition with Carlos Alcaraz in South Korea, Sinner showed a solid game from the start. Taking advantage of his opponent’s withdrawal in the first round, the Italian maintained a dominant pace, ensuring control of the match with an early service break.

Duckworth, 34, had a limited performance, yielding to Sinner’s consistency. The local player aimed to advance to the third round for the first time, but was surpassed by the Italian’s performance. Sinner maintained the pressure, securing the second set and consolidating his victory with a break in the third set. With this victory, Sinner advances to the third round of the Australian Open for the fifth time in his seven appearances in Melbourne. Sinner seeks to become the fifth player to win three titles in Australia, joining legends like Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, and Mats Wilander. In addition, he aims to be the fourth player to achieve this consecutively, following in the footsteps of Jack Crawford, Roy Emerson, and Djokovic. The 24-year-old Italian tennis player has dominated in Australia in recent years and maintains a strong competition with Carlos Alcaraz in the world of tennis.
