Sinner steadies to beat Moutet Roland-Garros The official site

Key stats

Sinner’s victory kept a number of streaks intact for the Italian as well as his pursuit of the world No.1 ranking. The Australian Open champion is now 11-0 in Grand Slam matches this year, as well as 22-0 against players ranked outside the top 20. 

Moutet, meanwhile, fell short of a milestone: he is now 0-12 against top 10 players in his career.

Sinner’s final stat line consisted of 40 winners and 31 unforced errors – but in sets two to four, he cleaned things up considerably. In the sets he won, he totalled 31 winners and just 17 unforced errors.

His serve, too, steadied. He wasn’t broken in either the third or fourth set, and landed a match-high 78 per cent of first serves in the fourth. He lost just eight points in four third-set service games, and five in the three games he served in the final set.
