Jannik Sinner Top 10 Points | Australian Open 2024

That was life. Yeah, but then you get guys like Yannick Sinner who just get it so right. From an early age. I'm just not a fan of the slide on hard court. Watch this, his foot sticks. I mean, you get that slightly wrong, you've torn a couple of ligaments. Now Hashenov provided a target. And it was an enticing target for Yannick Sinner. One of the biggest things that'll be important throughout this match is the first serve percentage from Sinner. He was at 58% in his last round. Hashenov really struggles when you make that first serve. He puts less than 70% of his first serve returns back in the court. So if Sinner's making first serves, he's going to get a lot of points. Don't want to be too fast early. Easy action hit. He seems to have it. Practicing a little yesterday. And that shot right there, Mark, the drop shot, was one that he was practicing a lot. Didn't miss by much, but he had it covered. He disguises it so well, doesn't he? He's got that grip. Looks like he's going to rip his forehand in the last second change. Happy to rally. Get into the rhythm of a rally. Not a lot of change of direction coming from the other end of the court. Tool. Laser after laser from Sinner. Ominous signs. And there's one guy winning this rally. You can see just where Sinner is. Whether it's he's on or inside the baseline. Central attention. You're not aware of your behavior. It's only when you get older and perhaps a little wiser, you learn how to deal with people better. And you look back at your younger self and you think, shh. He said to himself, he prefers no wind conditions in the end of last year. He was so good in an indoor environment. That he's become. And I'd agree with you there, Colin. And I think, you know, with Simone Magnosi, they really worked on him coming forward. 40-15. Well, it's a 40-lap point and maybe not something that's going to change the course of this game. But it does put the thought into Novak's mind a bit. And the physicality of Daniel as the match has gone on with the way that he's played. He's taken his legs away with the dynamic ground stroke play that we saw in that last rally. But how cool has he been? His mind must also be cartwheeling to some degree.
