The Italian staged a strong comeback to force a tiebreak, which he won to preserve his unbeaten record against the American Michelson and extend his remarkable streak of 28 consecutive straight-set victories at the Masters 1000 level.
Jannik Sinner said,
“I felt like the serve helped me quite a lot today and especially in important moments and in the tiebreak, so I am really happy about that.”
“I know that if I want to go far in this Miami Open tournament, I have to improve from the back of the court. Tomorrow is a day off, which helps me and I will try to find good rhythm in the court practice session. Then we will see how things go on that day.”
