Sina King Returns! Roma s strong debut hits straight to two sets to defeat Navone

After three months of silence, world number one Jannik Sinner finally returned to the arena and declared the return of the king with a clean victory at his own home court. In the second round of the men's singles in the 2025 Rome Masters, he defeated Argentina Mariano Navone 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the third round.

This is Sina's first official game since winning the Australian Open Championship at the beginning of the year, and it is also the first tough battle to return since the "stimulant storm" was suspended for three months. His comeback attracted great attention from Italian fans, and he welcomed a standing ovation as soon as he entered the court, and the atmosphere was comparable to the finals.

First set: The slow-heating start steadily accelerated

The start of the game, Sina was a little unfamiliar, the success rate of the first start was not high, and she was facing a crisis of breaking in the second game. But he withstood the pressure and resolved the crisis, and successfully broke the serve in the fourth game, establishing a 3-1 lead. Since then, he has stabilized his position and controlled the short ball rounds many times through active attacks, successfully winning the first set 6-3. Although Navone ranked only 99th in the world, he is not an ordinary person on the clay and has a strong ability to stand stalemate on the bottom line. However, Sina's aggressiveness in the short round made it difficult for the opponent to organize effective defense.

Shift: The break-off battle was dangerous, and the second set broke for six consecutive games. It was difficult for both sides to retain the serve, and the score was stalemate to 3-3. After stubbornly saving the break point in the seventh game, Sina finally completed her first serve-keeping service, and took advantage of the victory to pursue it, put pressure again when she led 5-4, won with one blow, and secured the victory.

In the end, Sina took 1 hour and 42 minutes to end the battle 6-3, 6-4, and successfully advanced to the third round. Facing this clay opponent in good shape, Sina's handling of key points showed the calmness and decisiveness of the top players.

Looking forward to the next round: Against the Dutch dark horse

Next Sina will face the Dutch dark horse Jesper de Jong in the round of 16, who just defeated Spanish clay master Davidovic Forkina in the upset. This game will be a good opportunity for Sina to further test her condition.

Sina's return not only boosted the morale of Italian tennis, but also made people look forward to his next trip to Rome and the French Open. The red clay king returns to his position, who can stop Sina?
