Tennis prodigy Jannik Sinner is off to a strong start at the US Open, advancing to the third round amidst buzzing excitement. While fellow young stars Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff also won their matches, they were tested more than expected and now face increasingly competitive opponents.
The impressive run of 19-year-old Sinner, who is currently ranked #6 in the world, is even more remarkable given his consecutive wins over top 50 players at the tournament. His commanding 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over #41 Sebastian Baez of Argentina in the second round amplified speculation about his potential to overtake the likes of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and lga Swiatek, who currently dominate the men's and women's rankings.
On the women's side, 2020 French Open champion Swiatek had to battle it out for three sets, ultimately prevailing 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 over American Claire Liu. Despite the tough match, Swiatek remained composed and relied on her strong serve to pull through.
17-year-old Gauff, who stunned the world with her performance at Wimbledon this year, fought back tears after her narrow victory over Aleksandra Krunic 6-3, 7-6 (5). "I fought back when I was down, so I'm going to be proud of myself," she said, visibly relieved.
Sinner, Swiatek, and Gauff will undoubtedly be ones to watch in the coming rounds of the US Open. Let's see if they can continue their winning streaks and potentially face off against higher-ranked competitors.
