Game Preview
Last week, Casper Ruud won the Madrid Open. This Thursday, Jannik Sinner humiliated the Norwegian, allowing him to win just one game, 6-0, 6-1. The match lasted for only 65 minutes. The Italian had 70% of the first serve and converted 6 of 9 break points.
Simmer was better than Navone, De Jong, and Cerundolo before his event against Ruud. He didn’t lose a single set during these events.
Tommy Paul was better than Agut, Machac, and De Minaur in the previous rounds, dropping only a set against Machac, which was in the tie break. In his last appearance at Foro Italico, the American defeated Hubert Hurkacz, 2-0, 7-6, 6-3.
The game was a tough one, but Paul managed to get on top, converting four of his nine break points, despite only 58% of his first serve. His mobility was the key difference in moments that decided the event.

Sinner leads 3-1 in head-to-head events. The last meeting was at the US Open in September 2024 when Sinner routinely eliminated the American. Paul’s sole win was in Eastbourne in 2022.
