World number one Jannik Sinner celebrated his 24th birthday by securing a victory at the Cincinnati Open. He defeated Frenchman Terence Atman in two sets, finishing the match with a score of 7-6 (7-4), 6-2.
This victory marked Sinner's 200th on hard courts, and he also extended his winning streak to 26 matches on this surface. Sinner, who is the defending champion, is preparing to defend his title at the US Open, which begins next month.
In the finals, Sinner will meet either Carlos Alcaraz or Alexander Zverev. During the match, Atman, a 23-year-old athlete, displayed good play but could not overcome the pressure created by Sinner. It is known that Atman gifted Sinner a Pokémon card before the start of the match.
The first set ended with a tiebreak, where Sinner demonstrated his mastery. In the second set, he managed to break the serve of the superman, allowing him to quickly finish the match.
Sinner noted that playing against new supermen is always challenging, but he was ready for the challenge. Now he awaits the result of the match between Alcaraz and Zverev to determine who will be his next opponent in the finals.
