"At Wimbledon, Sinner looked like losing to Dimitrov, flummoxed by him at two sets down, then poor old Griggzy hurt his pec and had to quit; in the last round here, he was craping at 1-1 and a break down to Elliot Spizzirri, only for the officials to call a heat break which allowed him to recover. Which is to say that, like the best sportsfolk, he has a goldfish memory, able to accept and absorb fortune, ill or good, and move on remorselessly."
"Sinner leads Darderi 6-1 1-1, though there was minor controversy earlier: yesterday, Carlos Alcaraz was ordered to take off a health tracker worn around his wrist, so today, the champ tried hiding it under his sweatband to no avail. he too was told to get it off, but so far appears to be surviving. And as I type, Darderi misses a forehand to be broken, at 1-6 1-2 so leathers a ball into the crowd, receiving a code violation for his trouble,"
Jannik Sinner has overcome recent on-court scares and currently leads Luciano Darderi 6-1, 3-1. Sinner nearly lost at Wimbledon when two sets down to Grigor Dimitrov and benefited when Griggzy withdrew with a pectoral injury. Sinner also rallied from 1-1 and a break down against Elliot Spizzirri after a called heat break. Carlos Alcaraz faced a rules issue after being ordered to remove a wrist health tracker, attempting to hide it under a sweatband before being told to remove it. Luciano Darderi was broken after missing a forehand, threw a ball into the crowd, received a code violation and smashed his racket. Upcoming matches include Maddison Inglis v Iga Swiatek and Ben Shelton v Casper Ruud after Novak Djokovic's scheduled match was canceled due to Jakub Mensik's stomach injury.
