J. SINNER/T. Kokkinakis
6-1, 6-4
THE MODERATOR: Very solid start here at Rome in front of your fans. How do you feel today?
JANNIK SINNER: For sure it's always special to play here in Rome. First-round matches are never easy, so I'm very happy about how I started the match.
Today was still not easy, even if the score is like this. It was a little bit breeze, a little bit windy. But still very happy about the performance and let's see what's coming in the next round.
