US EditionJannik Sinner looks fully healthy in an easy US Open win to begin his title defense
Jannik Sinner, after recovering from illness, secured a dominant first-round win, extending his hard-court Grand Slam streak to 22 matches, aiming to repeat as US Open champion.
- On Tuesday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Jannik Sinner defeated Vit Kopriva 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 in one hour and 38 minutes, marking his 22nd straight hard-court Grand Slam win.
- Earlier this month Jannik Sinner retired sick in the Cincinnati Masters final against Carlos Alcaraz on Aug. 18 and withdrew from the U.S. Open mixed doubles, saying he wasn’t fully recovered late last week.
- Match statistics show Jannik Sinner surged early, making just six unforced errors in the first set and five in the second while racing to a 5-0 lead against Vit Kopriva.
- The victory moves Jannik Sinner into the second round and sets up a match with Alexei Popyrin, while equalling Matteo Berrettini for most US Open wins by an Italian in the Open Era.
- If he keeps winning, Jannik Sinner could join Rod Laver, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic by reaching all four finals in one year, and either he or Carlos Alcaraz can claim the top ATP ranking after these 15 days.
