MELBOURNE – If someone is required to dismantle a nation’s hopes, then Jannik Sinner is a fine choice. He will do it without fuss. He will not beat his chest, prance in victory or even grunt. He will simply not miss. He will bring cold calculation, a Gatling-gun forehand, a face that tells you nothing and puncture your challenge.
In short, he will do it all very politely.
