World number one Jannik Sinner bounced back from his heartbreaking French Open final defeat to Carlos Alcaraz with a straight-sets victory at the Halle Open on Tuesday. The 23-year-old defeated Germany’s Yannick Hanfmann 7-5, 6-3 on grass, just over a week after enduring a gruelling five-hour, 29-minute loss at Roland Garros. Sinner secured a break in the final game of the opening set and again in the second to seal the win over the world No. 138.
