3. Sinner seeks to back up Cincinnati surge: After withdrawing from the Paris Olympics due to illness, the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings hit the hard courts in Montreal. At the ATP Masters 1000, the Italian suffered a quarter-final defeat to Andrey Rublev in which he appeared to struggle with his hip — an injury that has affected him for much of the 2024 season.

But Sinner was no worse for the wear in Cincinnati, where he beat Rublev and Alexander Zverev in consecutive three-setters before sprinting to the title with a lights-out second set against Tiafoe. Can the reigning Australian Open champ sweep the hard-court Slams after winning his second hard-court ATP Masters 1000 of the season?

Jannik Sinner is the top seed at the US Open, where he will try to claim his second major title. The Italian took the tennis world by storm at this year’s Australian Open, where he lifted his first Grand Slam trophy.

Before the 23-year-old plays Mackenzie McDonald in the first round at Flushing Meadows, ATPTour.com looks at five fast facts from his career thus far at the US Open.

Hardcore fans remember well Sinner’s first qualifying match at a major, which came in 2019 at Wimbledon. He lost a tight encounter to Australian Alex Bolt.

But then a teen, the Italian qualified for his first major main draw two months later at the US Open. The 18-year-old defeated Matteo Viola, former training partner Viktor Galovic and Mario Vilella Martinez to reach the field of 128.

One of the best matches from any tournament in recent memory was the 2022 US Open quarter-final between Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Their rivalry reached a new stratosphere when they clashed inside Arthur Ashe Stadium deep into the night. For five hours and 15 minutes, the budding rivals bludgeoned groundstrokes and produced tremendously athletic rallies to thrill the New York fans.

Pozytywne testy, choroba, problemy z biodrem. W efekcie mnóstwo nieprzespanych nocy podczas Wimbledonu miał Jannik.

Trochę ryżym członkiem okazał się Jamnik. Trzymał w sztabie ludzi, którzy, przyjmując jego wersję, okazali się niekompetentnymi fizjomatołkami i swoją głupotą mogli utopić mu karierę, a kiedy okazało sie, że opinia publiczna ciężko trawi te tłumaczenia, to ich wywala. Na w najlepszym wypadku lekkomyślność i małe cwaniatwo to wygląda.

Jannik Sinner needed some time to settle into his latest US Open campaign on Tuesday afternoon in New York. Once the World No. 1 found his rhythm, however, he barely looked back en route to booking his second-round spot at the hard-court major.

Sinner overcame home favourite Mackenzie McDonald 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2 inside Arthur Ashe Stadium to set a second-round clash with another American, Alex Michelsen. The Italian appeared in real trouble after a first set in which McDonald expertly redirected the ball from the baseline, but he proved too strong from then on and ultimately wrapped a two-hour, 23-minute triumph.

“I started not in the best way, for sure, but the first match in every tournament is not easy. You have to accept it. He played really, really well at the beginning and I tried to stay there mentally, tried to get into a rhythm. I did that at some point in the second set and then just tried to keep going, so I’m very happy to be in the next round. It’s the first time that I won here on this court after some attempts, so I’m very happy about this.”

Sinner, who won his maiden Grand Slam trophy at January’s Australian Open and arrived in New York after lifting his third ATP Masters 1000 crown in Cincinnati, is now 49-5 for the season. The current leader in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, the 22-year-old is bidding to lift a Tour-leading sixth singles title for the year this fortnight in New York.
