Hugo Gaston

Jannik Sinner began his bid for a third consecutive Australian Open title with a straightforward victory on Tuesday night, as opponent Hugo Gaston retired due to an abdominal injury. The Italian world No. 2 dominated the match, leading 6-2, 6-1 when the Frenchman called it quits in Rod Laver Arena. Sinner expressed sympathy for Gaston while praising his own preparation.
