At the start of the match, these two were having some longer drawn-out rallies and we thought that it would be an epic battle, but it hasn't really been like that. It has been clunky, awkward and tense.
I also feel like you can't take your eyes off what Alexander Zverev is doing because Jannik Sinner has just been maintaining what he usually does.
