On the way up? Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner got off to a good start in the 1000 tournament in Rome. He was very present against Pedro Martinez and left little doubt of victory. He had the better end on his side at 6: 4 and 6: 3 and will meet Fabio Fognini in the Italian duel in the next round, who took Dominic Thiem out of the tournament on Monday.

Krajinovic surprises Rublev

On the other hand, the Russian Andrey Rublev, who was sixth, had to give up. Filip Krajinovic only needed one hour and eight minutes for his two-set win. He also leads in a head-to-head comparison with Rublev, who lost to Tsitsipas in the Madrid quarter-finals last week.

Schwartzman fends off match points against Kecmanovic

A really good game developed between Diego Schwartzman and Miomir Kecmanovic. The Serb, who has already impressed at various tournaments this year, missed two match balls. Schwartzman once again showed his fighting qualities and prevailed 6:2, 3:6 and 7:6.

Auger-Aliassime successful with pain against Davidovich Fokina

What a fight between Felix Auger Aliassime, who had to have his back treated in the match against Davidovich Fokina. The Spaniard could have won in two sets, but failed after more than three hours because of the Canadian's fighting power. In the end it was 4: 6, 7: 6 and 6: 2 from the point of view of Auger-Aliassime. In the subsequent interview he said that you lose 80% of these games - but he is very satisfied, especially with the strong performance in the third set.
