Still with noise and controversy about his positive result without sanction, Sinner debuted this Tuesday in the last Grand Slam of the season and put his entire hierarchy on the cement of the Arthur Ashe stadium to finish in a crushing way a match that seemed adverse at the beginning : won 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 and 6-2 in two hours and 24 minutes McDonald and will face another American in the second round, the 20-year-old Alex Michelsen (49th).
Whether because of the mental load with which he arrived in New York or because of the great level that his rival showed in that first set, the truth is that the match started very badly for the recent champion of the Cincinnati Masters 1000, who lost serve in four of his first five turns of duty and quickly found himself at a disadvantage. “I didn’t start off in the best way,” acknowledged in the on-court interview and then stressed that the first match of a tournament is never easy and that he tried “stay mentally” y “get into rhythm” little by little.
When he went out onto the center court of the American Open, the public was divided: some applauded him when he appeared on stage, as if nothing had happened in recent days, and others whistled at him after the doping became known and the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) declared him innocent considering that it was an error by his physiotherapists that had no influence on his sporting performance.
At a press conference, the world number one was asked about the criticism he receives from his teammates on the circuit and, true to the low profile that characterizes him, he responded: “I can’t control what others think and say. I can’t control the reaction of the players is like that. If I have something to say to someone, I do it privately because I’m that kind of person. Likewise, in general (the reviews) were not bad. So I’m happy about that.”
