Us Open, Jannik Sinner suffers one set, then dominates: he’s in the second round
Jannik Sinner-Mackenzie McDonald 2-6 6-2 6-1 6-2
Jannik Sinner’s journey to the Us Open begins on the right foot. After an uphill start, the world number one rediscovered himself and beat Mackenzie McDonald, world number 140, in four sets in the first round of the U.S. major, with a final score of 2-6 6-2 6-1 6-2 after 2 hours and 24 minutes of play.
The challenge starts badly for the South Tyrolean who surrenders the serve in the opening game. McDonald confirms the lead (2-0), Sinner immediately recovers (2-2) but then loses four consecutive games, with the U.S. cashing in the first partial 6-2 in the presence of a rather unrecognizable Italian.
Sinner gets off to a bad start in the second set as well, suffering the break in the opening with no less than two double faults. Here forò comes the reaction of the leader of the seeding who threads four consecutive games and closes for 6-2 the second partial, putting the set count back on a par.
From that moment on, the South Tyrolean put the arrow in his hands. The blue, in fact, overturned the initial disadvantage and went ahead by a set, dominating the third partial, which he won 6-1 after only 25 minutes. The fourth set was also without history, in which Sinner flew up 4-0 in a flash and then closed 6-2.
Sinner thus advances to the second round of the Us Open where he will find another American: Alex Michelsen, who defeated Eliot Spizzirri (6-1 7-5 6-3) in three sets.

The Viola took the lead in 59’ with Kean forcefully jumping over a man and when he got to the edge of the area he pierced Pecsi with a right-footed shot. On 94’ a penalty was awarded to the Magyars for a foul on Colley by Ranieri, who was sent off for double admonition. Three minutes later, Nagy from the penalty spot clears De Gea.
After the 3-3 draw of the first leg, we thus go to extra time and at 98’ Fiorentina remains in nine for another double caution to Comuzzo. The result is not unlocked and so it comes down to penalties. From the penalty spot, the Viola were infallible: Mandragora, Kouame, Colpani, Richardson and Biraghi scored while Szolnoki made the decisive mistake for the Hungarians on their fourth shot from the penalty spot.
Fiorentina thus returns to the event of which it lost the last two finals, to West Ham and Olympiakos.
