  • RG 2024: Sinner beats Moutet

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 2 21:55:51 2024
    Hello!

    It was a terrible start by Sinner as he
    was soon 5-0 down in the first set. He
    then managed to break Moutet once and he
    held his serve once, but lost the set 6-2.

    If I remember right, Moutet also broke
    him right at the start of the second set,
    going to a 1-0 lead.

    However, at that point, I was not worried
    about Sinner. I knew he would soon get his
    act together and after that, Moutet would
    have no chance.

    Indeed, after a horrendous start, it was a
    pretty easy win for Sinner.

    I have no idea what happened at the start.
    Maybe Sinner thought he is going to crush
    Moutet, got a bit cocky and was surprised
    when his timing was off and Moutet played
    extremely well?

    It was so strange...

    Might have been the French crowd affecting Sinner in the first set?

    It's possible, but Sinner should have expected
    that the crowd would support Moutet almost 100%.

    I would assume he did, but it can still be a bit unnerving. Moutet also
    has a tricky game, I would hate it if someone did a underhanded serve
    against me.
