Sinner 6-1, 3-6, *1-1 Auger-Aliassime
A pair of firecracker backhands from Jannik Sinner bring up 15-30 — that’s already more points won on Félix Auger-Aliassime’s serve in this set than the second.
But he reads the next rally brilliantly, wins it at the net, and this match is finding a new gear. HUGE hits incoming.
I’m not convinced Sinner is operating at 100 percent here, but it’s still enough to make for some absorbing tennis.
Auger-Aliassime digs out a big serve to save a Sinner break point and goes on to hold.
Superb game, that.
