Italian Open

Quite the crowd atmosphere on Sinner return match.

Coming back in Italy! I wouldn't expect anything less. La Carota !

Meanwhile, on "Super Tennis Arena" ( Which i presume sounds much better in Italian) Ben Shelton went out meekly 2 and 1 to Jaume Munar.

Collins beat Iga 1 and 5 -- just teeing off on second serves, I'm afraid.

Jannik Sinner will play his first match of the tournament on Saturday not before 7 p.m. CEST/1 p.m. EDT.

I watched some of the match. Tien had absolutely no issue returning the Opelka serve(1st and 2nd). Clearly, Rome is not a server's paradise. Opelka actually did unbelievably well rallying for a guy his size, but that is not ever going to be his template for winning.

I have no idea what to make of this and haven't watched but if you'd offered me a $20 bet on this stat you'd be $20 richer.

Yeah that doesn't seem possible. It's not even that close.

Jannik Sinner will begin his clay court season and his comeback from suspension against Mariano Navone in Rome's second round. Navone is a 24 yo Argentinian with a 28-37 record. What will Jannik's form be like in actual tournament play?
