Jannik Sinner is shining bright at the US Open, avoiding the same fate that took out tennis giants Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. The 23-year-old Italian powerhouse stormed into the last 16 with a convincing 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Christopher O'Connell, ranked 87th.
Meanwhile, world number one Iga Swiatek is on track for her second New York triumph, keeping the momentum going in the tournament. Sinner’s win comes hot on the heels of Djokovic’s surprising early exit after 18 years, and Alcaraz’s second-round loss to Dutch player Botic van de Zandschulp.
Next up, Sinner will face the 14th seed Tommy Paul for a coveted quarter-final spot after Paul triumphed over Canadian qualifier Gabriel Diallo in a thrilling four-set match. With 14 breaks of serve and Diallo’s 77 unforced errors, the match was a rollercoaster of emotions.
The US Open continues to deliver unexpected twists and electrifying matches, keeping fans on the edge of their seats! Stay tuned as Sinner and Swiatek aim for glory in the Big Apple.
