Sinner Soars Into Second Week At US Open

Spoiler:

Italian will next face Zverev or Sock
#NextGenATP Italian Jannik Sinner followed in the footsteps of 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday as he battled past 17th seed Gael Monfils 7-6(1), 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 6-4 to reach the fourth round at the US Open for the first time.

The 20-year-old, who advanced to the last 16 at Roland Garros, recovered from being a break up in the third set and losing a 4-0 lead in the fourth set, regaining his focus in the decider to secure his victory after three hours and 41 minutes. Sinner now leads Monfils 2-1 in their ATP Head2Head Series.

“The atmosphere is insane so thank you to everyone for coming out today.” Sinner said in his on-court interview. “When this atmosphere is here, Monfils plays incredible tennis. I had chances in the third set and fourth set and I didn’t manage to close it out. But I managed to stay there and I am very happy about the match today.”

The 13th seed is making his third appearance at Flushing Meadows, having fallen in the first round in 2019 and 2020. Sinner will next face fourth-seeded German Alexander Zverev or big-serving American Jack Sock as he aims to reach his second major quarter-final, after enjoying a run to the last eight in Paris last year.

“I like playing best of five,” Sinner added. “Maybe it is better if I can close it out a little bit earlier, but it is a great feeling. You have some tough moments and you have to get through them. Then in the important moments, you have to play your best tennis, which I have done.”

The three-time tour-level champion captured the title on hard in Washington and will be targeting a strong finish to the season as he bids to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals on home soil in Turin this November.

In a tight first set, Monfils tried to disrupt Sinner’s rhythm with his variety of shots and found the break in the 11th game to lead. However, the Frenchman was unable to serve the set out as Sinner raised his level to win 10 out of the last 11 points of the set, moving ahead when Monfils hit a forehand return into the net.

Fuelled with confidence, the Italian raced through the second set, committing just three unforced errors to double his advantage. Sinner continued to soak up Monfils' power in the third set until the eighth game when the 35-year-old began to hit through the Italian. Backed by a vocal crowd, Monfils broke twice from 3-4 to gain a foothold in the match.

Then from 4-0 ahead in the fourth set and cruising, Monfils rolled off six-straight games as Sinner struggled for consistency on serve, making just 49 per cent of his first serves in the set as Monfils levelled. However, the 20-year-old reverted back to basics in the decider, finding great depth on his groundstrokes as he played aggressively to pin Monfils behind the baseline to secure his victory.

Monfils was aiming to reach the fourth round at a major for the first time since enjoying a run to the last 16 at the Australian Open last year. The 35-year-old was making his 14th appearance at the US Open, with his best performance a run to the semi-finals in 2016.

Top Seed Sinner Eyes Sofia Title Defence

Spoiler:

Italian could meet Pospisil in rematch of last year's final
Jannik Sinner enters new territory this week as he bids to defend a tour-level title for the first time at the Sofia Open.

It all began for the Italian in the Bulgarian capital a year ago, when he defeated the experienced Vasek Pospisil for his maiden silverware. He has since gone on to add a second ATP 250 trophy in Melbourne and collected ATP 500 honours in Washington, D.C. Top seed in 2021, he could meet the Canadian in the second round in Sofia.


“Hopefully there will be some crowds again, which helped me a lot last year. Obviously, when you win the first tournament it’s always a special place and for me it was here, so I’m very grateful to be back,” Sinner said.

“It’s great, a lot of emotions last year… This year is very different, obviously. It’d [be] very nice to see me with the trophy, but I’m here trying to defend what I did last year and for this it’s a long way to go.”

FedEx ATP Race To Turin Standings

The 20-year-old arrived in Sofia last year having reached his first Grand Slam fourth round at Roland Garros. Top seed this week, he returns at No. 11 in the FedEx ATP Race to Turin.

A fourth tour-level title would boost his chances of a maiden Nitto ATP Finals berth and the trophy would complement his first from Sofia last year, which takes pride of place back in his apartment.

“It’s at my home in Monaco. When I enter my apartment it’s the first thing I see on the left-hand side,” Sinner said. “It’s very, very nice when I go back at home to see some trophies and obviously the first trophy of my career.”
