Jannik Sinner marched in the third round by steering Alexei Pofyrin-the player who set the four-time champion Novak Djokovic during the US Open of last year-in straight sets on the Arthur Ashe Stadium Court.
It was a very, very solid version ….. I am very happy to be in the next round Jannik Sinner
The top Italian made sure that the dangerous Australian did not spend a similar upset by taking control and by wiping 6-3 6-2 6-2 while continuing the defense of his title.
“It was a very, very solid performance,” Sinner said in his press conference after the game. “I felt that we both did not serve so well today, so we had many rallies from the back of the field, where I felt quite comfortable today. I am clearly very happy to be in the next round.”
Sinner Broke Serve in de tweede wedstrijd van de wedstrijd en bekeerde vijf van de negen breekpunten die hij verdiende en redde alle vijf waarmee hij geconfronteerd werd, om een derde ronde-ontmoeting op te zetten met Denis Shapovalov in Canada die op zijn beurt een marathongevecht overleefde met Fransman Valentin Royer, een wilde kaartinvoer, 7-6 (6) 3-6 7-6 (4) 6-3.
The only time that the 24-year-old had a problem was in the second set when he dismissed three breaking points, including one with a second serve bait, to keep 4-2.
Apart from that temporary blip, Sinner maintained his focus and used his usual power and consistency.
He must perform better than his most important rival Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open to maintain his current place at the top of the world ranking.
Also by 15th seed Andrei Rublev is after his 6-3 6-3.5-7 7-6 (4) Twin about the American Wild Card Tristan Boyer who reaches the third round for the seventh consecutive year.
Standing between Rublev and a place in the fourth round is the qualifying match in Hong Kong, Coleman Wong, who continued his dream run in Flushing Meadows by the Australian Adam Walton 7-6 (5) 6-2 4-6. 6-4.
