Sinner Returns With Rock-solid Display In Rome
Jannik Sinner is back to business on home soil at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia.
The No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings settled quickly on Saturday in his first match for more than three months, producing an all-around impressive second-round display to defeat Mariano Navone 6-3, 6-4. Sinner let slip a break lead in the second set but responded quickly to earn a one-hour, 38-minute victory at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Rome.

Sinner showed little visible extra emotion on court while completing his first victory since he lifted the Australian Open title. Instead, he picked up where he left off in Melbourne with a typically business-like display, during which his ballstriking power eventually overwhelmed the spirited Navone. With his win against the Argentine, the 23-year-old Sinner extended his tour-level winning streak to 22 matches dating back to last October.
By defeating the World No. 99 Navone, Sinner improved to 60-0 against players outside the Top 20 since the start of the 2023 US Open. The 23-year-old will attempt to make that 61-0 in his third-round match when he takes on lucky loser Jesper de Jong, who raced past Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-0, 6-2 earlier on Saturday.
