World number one Jannik Sinner rebounded from his agonising French Open final defeat to Carlos Alcaraz with a straight-sets win at the Halle Open on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old beat Germany's Yannick Hanfmann 7-5, 6-3 on the Halle grass, just over a week after his five-hour and 29-minute loss to Alcaraz at Roland Garros.
Sinner broke in the final game of the first set and once more in the second to secure victory over the 138th-ranked Hanfmann.
Sinner, who won last year's tournament, will take on 2023 Halle champion Alexander Bublik in the last 16 on Wednesday.
Coming into the Wimbledon warm-up event, Sinner admitted to having "a few sleepless nights" after his five-set French Open loss to Alcaraz.
World number three Alexander Zverev, a two-time finalist at Halle, starts his campaign against American Marcos Giron on Wednesday.
Third seed Daniil Medvedev, the runner-up in 2022, takes on Quentin Halys.
