Sinner Defies the Heat and Doubt to Storm into Australian Open Quarterfinals—What’s Next for the Rising Star?
“It was very, very difficult. We’re good friends off the court,” Sinner said. “Third set I had some break chances, I couldn’t use them. I got tight, so very happy I closed it in three sets.”

Sinner had 19 aces — a personal record — and no double-faults and said he was satisfied with the work he put into his serve over the offseason.
He also wanted to emphasize some minor changes to his game, including going to the net and trying to mix up his game.
