In the ongoing US Open, world number one Jannik Sinner registered a stunning victory against Alexei Popyrin in the second round. He defeated Popyrin 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 and won the match in three straight sets.
Speaking about the victory, Sinner said that he felt very comfortable and showcased a very solid performance.
