Sinner started off with a solid win at the Cincinnati tournament

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner began his campaign at the Cincinnati tournament with a confident victory.

In the Round of 32 of the Masters, the Italian defeated American tennis player Alex Michelsen, who is ranked 57th in the ATP rankings.

This was the first meeting between Sinner and Michelsen. The opponents spent 1 hour and 52 minutes on the court, with the Italian not dropping a single set - 6:4, 7:5.

In the Round of 16 in the U.S., Sinner will face the winner of the match between Sebastián Báez or Australian Jordan Thompson.

It is worth noting that Jannik missed the 2024 Olympic Games due to health issues.

The Cincinnati Masters is being held from August 12 to 19.
