On his 24th birthday, reigning champion Jannik Sinner advanced to the finals of the Cincinnati Open, solidifying his position as a dominant force in tennis.
Ranked No. 1 in the world, Sinner showcased his skills by defeating the unexpected contender Terence Atmane in straight sets, 7-6, 6-2. This marked his 200th career victory on the ATP Tour on hard courts, extending his impressive streak to 26 consecutive wins on this surface.
Throughout the semi-final, Sinner did not face a single break point, efficiently securing his spot in the final after just 86 minutes of play.
“It was a tough challenge,” Sinner remarked. “Competing against someone new is always difficult, especially in the later rounds where the stakes are higher. He has defeated some remarkable players along the way.”
“I was mindful of the pressure and felt my mentality was strong. I believe I navigated the challenges on the court effectively.”
Jannik Sinner will encounter either familiar rival Carlos Alcaraz or Alexander Zverev in the championship match on Monday.
