MATCH REPORT | 2024 China Open: Complicated comeback for Jannik Sinner in Nicolas Jarry opening win
ATPThursday, 26 September 2024 at 12:14
Jannik Sinner is through to the second round at the 2024 China Open. But to say he had it easy is perhaps not the truth as he had to stage a comeback to win through 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 in the end against Nicolas Jarry.
Sinner had a superb stint in Asia last year winning the China Open and following that up with a successful Shanghai Masters. It also technically birthed the Sinner we all know now. He was sick in a bin during his match in Beijing and from there on ironically became one of the best players on the planet.
Sinner though compared to last year where he had a point to prove has just won the US Open so he very much is rusty and can be got at. Something that Nicolas Jarry would've been hoping to do and succeeded with early doors.

Jarry's massive serve and forehand not only caused Sinner problems but also broke down in the end. Jarry dictated the rallies and hit 11 winners in the opening set. Seven more than Sinner and won the opener 6-4.
Jarry broke early in the tie and he was able to keep that break thanks to aggressive play which yielded 13 unforced errors. But it flipped as Sinner broke first in the second making it 3-0. He battled Jarry from the baseline and upped the tempo as he looked to turn the momentum onto his racquet. He had no issues winning the second 6-3.
It was even more streaky in the third as Sinner's pressure told and he broke before heading towards a 6-1 set. Job done but he didn't half have to toil.
Next up is Stan Wawrinka or Roman Safiullin. A tough second round if he isn't on his game but he showed in glimmers that it is solely about unlocking the game and being consistent.

- Hey, Elena, when you're strong again... take back the Porsche you gave to your ex-abuser!
mandoist27-09-2024 - He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
- She's no longer a tennis player; apparently it wasn't a priority. So why the publicity?mandoist26-09-2024
- Yes, the Ginger is right... 'you don't have to play'. And we are realizing the results of how players are affected by non-stop scheduling. Everything Iga first mentioned 2 years ago is now coming to fruition as far too many top WTA players cannot maintain their well-being. Therfor having to blow-off several tourneys. It's common sense -- the human body is not a machine! WTA's GREED and insensitivity is no joke.mandoist26-09-2024
- Maybe she did not have time to watch it anymore :-)
