Jannik Sinner survived a huge scare in his opening match, but got the job done in five sets against Miomir Kecmanovic. Sinner had a nasty fall during the match, and had blood gushing from his toenail, but recovered to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-2, 6-3 in three hours and 32 minutes.

In the victory, Sinner hit 72 winners, but recorded a staggering 52 unforced errors. He hit 31 aces and only 5 double faults. Sinner landed 63% of first serves in play and won 89% of first serve points (77/87). Sinner won 59% of second serve points (30/51) and saved three of four break points on serve.

Jannik Sinner vs Nuno Borges Prediction

If there are no repercussions from Monday’s match, I don’t expect Sinner to have too much difficulty putting away Borges. I think the match against Kecmanovic was exactly what Sinner needed after skipping all warm-up tournaments. He looked increasingly like himself in the final two sets, and that level is good enough for him to control this match.
