Recap of the Day

Jannik Sinner def. Vit Kopriva, 6-1, 6-1, 6-2

Jannik Sinner launched his US Open title defence with a commanding 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 rout of Vit Kopriva, reaching the second spherical in simply 98 minutes.

The World No. 1 confirmed no indicators of his debilitating sickness from Cincinnati as he overwhelmed Kopriva with exact depth and clear ball-striking. 84 factors gained to 47 for Kopriva. Ouch.

Outdoors of somebody with the ability to bodily drag Sinner into the mire, I simply don’t see anybody with the ability to problem him.

You want one thing completely different, like with the ability to take the ball early, combine up your trajectory, and so on and Alcaraz is the one man proper now who can do this.

Maybe if Sinner has a poor serving day (which is feasible, because it’s maybe his weakest go well with), then somebody can benefit from it, however I’m uncertain.

I really feel in good condition bodily. It has been some good apply days, particularly the final couple. I really feel bodily in a great place. Additionally, it was a great first-round match, so I’m very glad. Sinner on his win.

Lorenzo Musetti def. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4

Lorenzo Musetti got here from a set all the way down to defeat Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, advancing to the US Open second spherical.

The tenth seed, rebounding from a lean post-Roland Garros semi-final run, gained 49% of factors on Mpetshi Perricard’s second serve and didn’t face a single break level.

I don’t have large expectations for Musetti on New York arduous courts 

Denis Shapovalov def. Marton Fucsovics, 6-4, 6-4, 6-0

Denis Shapovalov cruised previous Winston-Salem champion Marton Fucsovics 6-4, 6-4, 6-0. I’d picked Hungarian to return by means of this one, however the twenty seventh seed, a 2020 quarter-finalist, dominated with 12 aces and three breaks, wrapping up in 90 minutes as Fucsovics seemed like he was content material together with his Winston Salem title and able to head again to Europe.

Alexander Zverev def. Alejandro Tabilo, 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4

Alexander Zverev dispatched Alejandro Tabilo 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4 to kick off his marketing campaign. The German broke early and clinched a decent second-set tiebreak after erasing Tabilo’s set level at 5-6.

Not the cleanest match you’ll see from him, and maybe lucky that Tabilo is badly out of shape, however he’s into spherical two the place he’ll face Jacob Fearnley.

Tristan Schoolkate def. Lorenzo Sonego, 6-3, 7-6(8), 1-6, 1-6, 7-6(6)

Tristan Schoolkate pulled off an exciting upset, defeating Lorenzo Sonego 6-3, 7-6(8), 1-6, 1-6, 7-6(6) to succeed in.

The Australian wildcard, ranked outdoors the Prime 100, saved set factors within the second-set tiebreak and clinched the fifth-set breaker after 4 hours and 18 minutes.

A troublesome loss for Sonego, as he broke serve six instances, dropped his serve solely twice, and gained eight extra factors within the match. That’s Tennis!

Tommy Paul def. Elmer Moller, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1

Tommy Paul cruised previous Elmer Moller 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 to partially alleviate any harm considerations surrounding his participation.

The 14th seed broke 5 instances and dominated in all areas, with out dealing with a single break level and Moller seemed extra like a contest winner for many of it.
