- Sinner won 6-3, 6-4; the crowd displayed signs saying 'Bentornato Jannik,' meaning 'Welcome back Jannik,' and fully supported him throughout the match.
- The settlement allowed Sinner to return without missing Grand Slams, maintaining his popularity despite criticism, and he will next face qualifier Jesper De Jong.
