2022 Miami R1: (9) Sinner def. Ruusuvuori 6-4 3-6 7-6(8) saving 3 MP's

[Forgive Me Father]

Deserves a thread.

3 MP's saved as against Fokina.

Up until 5-4 3rd set, Ruusuvuori had his best match ever and was just about flawless.

Sinner hung in there like a champ though, waiting for his opportunity.

When the opportunity came he pounced, with brilliant shotmaking.

It was by no means an easy ride to the end though.

He saved 3 MP's with all winners/FE's, and when down 3-5 in the tiebreak, he hit a brilliant I/I FH which many of you seemed to have forgot.

A match that didn't deserve a loser, really.

Sinner moves to 14-2 on the year, PCB awaits.

PCB is the opposite of Ruus in many ways. He won't be as generous.

 

[junior74]

Ruus should have won that breaker. He is Finnish, though.

I'm pretty sure Sinner will have a much easier time with PCB.

 

[dking68]

Amazing match, happy for sinner but he really needs to improve the accuracy of his serves. Was not his best day today but I hope he improves as he progresses in the tournament. Feel bad for Ruusuvuori though

 

[socallefty]

Is Ruusuvuori ‘Finnish’?

 

[Aabye5]

I'm pretty sure Sinner will have a much easier time with PCB.

He lost to him, in their only previous meeting, but that was two years ago.

He should beat him, but if he's having problems with the heat or with his serve, PCB will test him.

For some reason i think he just needed to be tested today, i think he will improve throughout the tournie

 

[Third Serve]

Really wish he’d have beaten Hurkacz last year. Hope he can at least get close to 2021’s result here.

Big match for Sinner coming up. Really feel it's a match he needs to be winning to start building some sort of aura.

First match I've watched in a while. Was impressed with Emil. Shame about the end.

He will win, don't worry.

 

[Aabye5]

Your confidence in the lad is reassuring.

Form wise just don't see PCB being able to do much.

Good win against Goffin but against Munar and Giron he looked weak.

 

[dking68]

Your confidence in the lad is reassuring.

Been watching him for a while, whenever he endures a tough match such as the match with Ruusuvuori, he always makes either a deep run or ends up winning the tournament.

 

[Aabye5]

He needs a deep run to ensure his ranking doesn't slip. Carlos is closing the gap.

He needs to win

Some of the line calls in this match were highly suss.

Yup, I have no confidence in the technology they’re using here… the winner credited to Sinner match point down in the tie break looked long by inches..

It seriously makes me question the whole thing. Now, where's my tinfoil hat

Sinner quietly having a good year? I haven't heard much about him with all the Alcaraz hype, Nadal talk, vaccine stuff, etc.

Only lost to Tsitsipas at AO and Hurkacz in Dubai.

Sinner has a weird problem in closing out sets on his serve.

There are none.

Thanks, TennisTV.

In retrospect, this was the easy match - Sinner saved 5 mps across two sets against PCB the next round...
