"I knew before the match it was going to be very difficult today. I did not have a lot of time to adapt here, but it makes it even more special. Every day, every opponent is very difficult, it is a huge challenge. So I am very happy to come through today, and hopefully I am able to raise my level tomorrow," he said after the match, as quoted by ATP's official website.

Facing Daniel for the first time since his loss to the German in the French Open back in 2023, Sinner managed to convert three of four break points he earned to secure a third-round clash with Tallon Griekspoor.
