Tennis: In his first match since Wimbledon, Sinner crushes Galan in Cincinnati
The world number 1 showed no emotion against the Colombian qualifier, who was swept aside 6-1, 6-1 in less than an hour.
Jannik Sinner, back on the courts almost a month after his victory at Wimbledon , made no bones about it on Saturday, crushing Colombian Daniel Elahi Galan 6-1, 6-1 in his first match at the Cincinnati tournament . The Italian world number 1 won the first five games in 15 minutes, giving no respite to his opponent, ranked 144th and having gone through qualifying.
He won the match in 59 minutes, the fastest victory of his career. It was his 22nd consecutive win on hard court, his last defeat on this surface dating back to September against the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz at the Beijing tournament. "I didn't know what to expect," he said after his successful return. "I'm happy because it's not easy to play here," adding that "the ball goes very fast and you have to serve very precisely."
