Jannik Sinner had quite an interesting match against the world the number 1 Novak Djokovic in the second round in Monte Carlo. Eventually, Jannik lost 6-4 6-2, but the Italian sensation wasn’t so disappointed for the overall outcome.
After the match, Jannik Sinner explained what happened during the encounter:
“I think what I missed was maybe one game each set I played a little bit, not in the right way, which in the first set was 2-1, in the second set it was 4-2 when he was serving. When he went 5-2, I didn’t play well that game. But I think the rest was not a bad match from my side. At some point, especially in the second set, the level was very high.”
