Taylor Fritz 0-1 Jannik Sinner*

Hell of a start from Sinner! Wow. Fritz’s second serve is decent but after a rally it’s a wonderful ripping forehand onto the line, pure winner from Sinner. Fritz goes long, 0-30 and already he’s chuntering away at his box.

Sinner nets, first point on the board, big cheers from the crowd. Sinner leaves the ball, Fritz long, and the top seed has two break points in the first game of the match. Needless to say, this is not how Fritz wanted to start.

One saved as Taylor comes to the net, namesake Swift watching on next to the Gucci-bucket-hat-wearing Travis Kelce, and disguises a forehand down the line nicely.

But that’s why Sinner is so good! A brilliant return lands in, Fritz has a big overhand smash but pulls it wide to gasps from the crowd. Break.
