Flushing Meadows vibes! 📍
World No. 1 and defending champ Jannik Sinner of Italy continued his hard-court dominance with a straight-sets beatdown of Australia’s Alexei Popyrin to cruise into the third round of the US Open. Final score: 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. 🔥
Sinner set the tone early, breaking Popyrin’s serve with crisp returns and a killer drop shot that had fans on their feet—think your smooth badminton trick shots but on tennis turf. At 24, he’s chasing a back-to-back win, a feat last seen when Federer ruled the court in 2008. 🎯
“I felt we both didn’t serve great, but I was returning really well, especially on the second serve,” Sinner said. “I’m happy about today and aiming to improve even more.”
Meanwhile, World No. 1 Iga Swiatek also stormed into the third round with a commanding performance, showing why she’s the queen of the court. Next up, Sinner faces Canada’s Denis Shapovalov, while Swiatek will look to keep her run rolling.
Stay tuned as the big names clash and underdogs aim to steal the show! 🤩
