With the two most recent champions out of the tournament, the path to the title is now wide open for the young Italian.
Jannik Sinner dominated his match against Christopher McConnell, winning 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. His powerful serve and consistent groundstrokes proved too much for the Australian.
“Djokovic and Alcaraz’s losses show how unpredictable this sport can be,” Sinner stated. “Any slight dip, whether it’s mental or physical, can have a huge impact on the outcome.”
With Serena Williams watching from the stands, Sinner delivered a commanding performance, showcasing why he is considered one of the most promising players on the tour. His victory positions him as a strong contender for the US Open title.
Daniil Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, also advanced to the next round and is a potential quarterfinal opponent for Sinner. However, the Italian seems to be in excellent form and ready to face any challenge.
