After Fabio Fognini, Jannik Sinner also passes the first round at the Monte Carlo tournament, the first Masters 1000 on clay of the season.
The South Tyrolean defeated in three sets, with a score of 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, the Croatian Borna Coric, n.198 in the world, but during the second set he had to interrupt the match and ask for the medical intervention for a muscle problem in the abdominals, which was later overcome.
In the second round, Sinner will face the winner of the match between the Finnish Emil Ruusuvuori and the Chilean Cristian Garin.
