Jannik Sinner reaches US Open Round of 16. On the night between Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd September the world number one will challenge, at the Arthur Ashe Stadium (second game of the evening programnot before 2.30am), American Tommy Paul.
The Italian is coming off a victory against the Australian Christopher O’Connell, defeated in three sets (6-1, 6-4, 6-2) and now aims for the quarterfinals, given that he has a great chance ahead of him, given the eliminations of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. “I raised my level right from the start. I served well especially in the first set and it gave me confidence for the rest of the match. I moved well and in general it went better. We worked in these days to improve both physically and mentally. I felt more solid both physically and tactically. The exit of Alcaraz and Djokovic? It shows that this sport is very unpredictable. You just have to be distracted for a moment and you can be beaten.i. Let’s see how I end up, but for now I’m happy to still be here playing”, Sinner’s words after the success obtained against O’Connell.
