Jannik Sinner launched his 2025 US Open campaign with a commanding straight-sets victory over Vit Kopriva, dispatching the Czech player 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 in just under two hours. The world No. 1 looked sharp and composed on Arthur Ashe Stadium, showcasing the precision and power that have defined his rise to the top of men’s tennis. With this win, Sinner extended his hard-court Grand Slam winning streak to 22 matches, reinforcing his dominance on the surface.
Reflecting on the Return to Flushing Meadows
Following the match, Sinner shared his thoughts in an on-court interview, expressing joy and nostalgia about returning to New York. “I have amazing memories. Every year is different and you come here starting this tournament hopefully in the best possible way, which I have done. I’m very happy to come back here and compete against the best players in the world,” he said, smiling as the crowd applauded. His words captured both the emotional connection to the venue and the competitive fire that fuels his performances.
Overcoming Challenges Ahead of the Tournament
Sinner’s preparation for the US Open was not without hurdles. Just weeks earlier, he had to retire from the Cincinnati final due to illness. Despite lingering concerns, he appeared fully recovered and physically ready, moving freely and striking the ball with confidence. His ability to bounce back and deliver such a dominant performance speaks volumes about his resilience and focus.
Eyes on the Next Round
With the first hurdle cleared, Sinner now turns his attention to the second round, where he will face either Alexei Popyrin or Emil Ruusuvuori. As the defending champion and current top seed, expectations are high. Yet, judging by his opening match, Sinner seems poised to meet them head-on, continuing his pursuit of a third Grand Slam title in 2025.
