Jannik Sinner vs. Alex Michelsen Extended Highlights | 2024 US Open Round 2

6475 that meeting in Cincinnati that was the tournament just before the US Open it's just deep so an early break for the world number one perfect start for yanex sner that's well done Center's going to challenge mikkelson as much as he can to to play defense good reactions there from the American to go behind center from the American to go behind Center cooler conditions mean the ball first set and a half of his match he certainly looked like he needed some time to get his feet Underneath Him and the opening round which is understandable that's perfect From nichelson Here Comes triple break point to get right back level and keep it private and quiet and hope for the best outcome which he got by the way and then face the press and face it head on and not he did what he needed needed to do to tell his side of the story still waiting to hear from the drug authorities by the way to hear their side I don't know about you guys but I don't know why Yanik Center is the only one up on the day is speaking to the Press I think it's a second served challenge just and he responds immediately that's a good [Applause] effort stri backand of Cent was he said he hit one of his good back hands and when other players would be chiseling a slice I me I he loses that point but how about that return toties as as you alluded to Le eight break points wasn't able to convert on Annie and he says yes the and another break of serve comes mid through the opening set the facts don't lie there were fewer net approaches people couldn't get to the net things are happening too quickly that's beautiful you'll see far more players of the net on this speed of surface forell Style game maybe you'd take 10 years for that to happen because people would have to start practicing it as Juniors but equipment these days that you can be that successful serving in volum but oh that's unbelievable when returning serve and then on the very next swing he's landed a hay maker [Applause] guys second break of serve the next level to his game and of course with improved physicality Jim the ability Eight Second serve points for Center played so far today he's won just one of them return of serve has been pretty effective from Nicholson really just and that will do it complicated set for the world number one didn't have everything go his way can't just keep carrying an [Applause] injury G strikes you know is that the right shot Nichol to attack on that that volley would have sked through a bit more [Laughter] Jim more get under your toss on the second give me a little more AR I think that's the skill that he's still developing oh World CL players probably lose their pet and to play 80% of the time it's fabulous great anticipation from cner who's in the right spot his early stages of set number two so tough there to defend against somebody who passes well down the line line most direct it's tough much tougher than the crosscore [Music] pass oh just couldn't quite stretch far enough you're going to need I mean I don't know what to happen and make sure you're getting a nice easy volley to hit either that was no man's land which was wasn't easy against liveage he played well Rob didn't he he did he needed to but was it phenomena doll Robbie only reserved for one player come on Jo come on give me a little something break point to defend another service game that slips away it's been a tough set for melson effective Ser into the body to wrap things UPA and it is a second set Bagel he was kind of muted emotionally during the match all right good B there off of a straight down the middle the boldness with which he plays and you know kind of carries himself out there I expect there to be a little bit more kind of the depth was required even closer to the Baseline you get half of the that box that space But even as a pro as we see Nicholson rip beforehand winner there was kind of a funky forehand wasn't it off the lob enough beautifully redirected then of course you couple dip with Pace see if the demon can step through that opportunity too quick Sprinter out of the blocks he was so low for his first four steps and of course that gives you much better perspective when you wanted to the next don't change your shoes don't change anything just go do it terrible lock trouble how tight it was in cinti between these two he's got him again off game to good from the top seat there is a hold away from the third round what was keeping him close in the opening set was that he was able to break surf that's something that has evaded him since Center's been able to find a way to defend his second serve much better he's just found a better level got a little bit more comfortable and after getting absolutely pasted in that department he's really steadied himself over [Applause] two match points mostly on cruise control today after TI toen too good for the young American fairly one-sided in truth four love and two today into round three [Applause] and that will be a pleasing outcome experience and result here here inside Arash Stadium
