Recap of the Day

Jannik Sinner def. Vit Kopriva, 6-1, 6-1, 6-2

Jannik Sinner launched his US Open title defence with a commanding 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 rout of Vit Kopriva, reaching the second spherical in simply 98 minutes.

The World No. 1 confirmed no indicators of his debilitating sickness from Cincinnati as he overwhelmed Kopriva with exact depth and clear ball-striking. 84 factors received to 47 for Kopriva. Ouch.

Exterior of somebody having the ability to bodily drag Sinner into the mire, I simply don’t see anybody having the ability to problem him.

You want one thing completely different, like having the ability to take the ball early, combine up your trajectory, and so on and Alcaraz is the one man proper now who can try this.

Maybe if Sinner has a poor serving day (which is feasible, because it’s maybe his weakest swimsuit), then somebody can take advantage of it, however I’m uncertain.

I really feel in good condition bodily. It has been some good follow days, particularly the final couple. I really feel bodily in a great place. Additionally, it was a great first-round match, so I’m very comfortable. Sinner on his win.

Lorenzo Musetti def. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4

Lorenzo Musetti got here from a set right down to defeat Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, advancing to the US Open second spherical.

The tenth seed, rebounding from a lean post-Roland Garros semi-final run, received 49% of factors on Mpetshi Perricard’s second serve and didn’t face a single break level.

I don’t have large expectations for Musetti on New York onerous courts 

Denis Shapovalov def. Marton Fucsovics, 6-4, 6-4, 6-0

Denis Shapovalov cruised previous Winston-Salem champion Marton Fucsovics 6-4, 6-4, 6-0. I’d picked Hungarian to return by way of this one, however the twenty seventh seed, a 2020 quarter-finalist, dominated with 12 aces and three breaks, wrapping up in 90 minutes as Fucsovics appeared like he was content material along with his Winston Salem title and able to head again to Europe.

Alexander Zverev def. Alejandro Tabilo, 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4

Alexander Zverev dispatched Alejandro Tabilo 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4 to kick off his marketing campaign. The German broke early and clinched a good second-set tiebreak after erasing Tabilo’s set level at 5-6.

Not the cleanest match you’ll see from him, and maybe lucky that Tabilo is badly off form, however he’s into spherical two the place he’ll face Jacob Fearnley.

Tristan Schoolkate def. Lorenzo Sonego, 6-3, 7-6(8), 1-6, 1-6, 7-6(6)

Tristan Schoolkate pulled off an exhilarating upset, defeating Lorenzo Sonego 6-3, 7-6(8), 1-6, 1-6, 7-6(6) to achieve.

The Australian wildcard, ranked outdoors the High 100, saved set factors within the second-set tiebreak and clinched the fifth-set breaker after 4 hours and 18 minutes.

A troublesome loss for Sonego, as he broke serve six occasions, dropped his serve solely twice, and received eight extra factors within the match. That’s Tennis!

Tommy Paul def. Elmer Moller, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1

Tommy Paul cruised previous Elmer Moller 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 to partially alleviate any harm issues surrounding his participation.

The 14th seed broke 5 occasions and dominated in all areas, with out dealing with a single break level and Moller appeared extra like a contest winner for many of it.
