Mumbai, September 1: Jannik Sinner never gave his third-round opponent at the U.S. Open on Saturday, Chris O'Connell, even a moment to contemplate pulling off the sort of monumental upset that eliminated Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천 Not to the No. 1-ranked Sinner, who is suddenly the favorite to win the men's championship at Flushing Meadows. He won the first five games and 21 of the first 29 points to make quite clear how things would go at Arthur Ashe Stadium and wrapped up a 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 victory over O'Connell in under two hours.

슬롯사이트œIt shows that this sport is unpredictable. Whenever you drop a little bit of your level 슬롯사이트� if it's mental, if it's tennis-wise or physical 슬롯사이트� at the end, it has a huge impact on the result,슬롯사이트� Sinner said. 슬롯사이트œBoth opponents who they lost against, they played some incredible tennis. And it happens.슬롯사이트�

슬롯사이트œI felt like he was on from the get-go,슬롯사이트� O'Connell said. 슬롯사이트œI felt a little bit clueless, to be honest. ... Every single shot, I just felt like I had to do something with it, because he was just on me. He was suffocating me.슬롯사이트�

Stepping on court less than 15 hours after Djokovic's loss to Alexei Popyrin, and two days after Alcaraz's loss to Botic van de Zandschulp, Sinner was as dominant as can be in every facet of the sport. With 23-time major champion Serena Williams watching from an Ashe suite, Sinner struck 15 aces. He never faced a break point. He won five of O'Connell's 12 service games. He finished with more than twice as many winners, 46, as unforced errors, 22.

슬롯사이트œThe best tennis player I've ever played, for sure,슬롯사이트� the 30-year-old O'Connell said.

The only past men's champion at the U.S. Open still in the bracket, 2021 winner Daniil Medvedev, was scheduled to be in action at night. Top-ranked Iga Swiatek, who counts the 2022 title at Flushing Meadows among her five Grand Slam trophies, beat No. 25 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-4, 6-2 to reach the fourth round of the U.S. Open for the fourth straight year.

Earlier Saturday, Jasmine Paolini joined Coco Gauff as the only women to reach at least the fourth round at every major in 2024, getting that far at the U.S. Open for the first time with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over No. 30 seed Yulia Putintseva.

The fifth-seeded Paolini was the runner-up at the French Open in June and Wimbledon in July and next meets 2023 French Open finalist Karolina Muchova. Also advancing were No. 6 Jessica Pegula, No. 16 Liudmila Samsonova, No. 18 Diana Shnaider and 2018 Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki.

Since losing the first set he played in New York, against Mackie McDonald 슬롯사이트� which also was the first set Sinner had played since news emerged of a doping case that involved two positive tests in March for trace amounts of a banned anabolic steroid 슬롯사이트� the 23-year-old from Italy has performed impeccably, dropping a total of 18 games across nine sets.

Trying to collect his second Grand Slam title of the year after gaining the first of his career at the Australian Open in January, Sinner will face No. 14 Tommy Paul of the United States in the fourth round on Monday. Paul defeated Canadian qualifier Gabriel Diallo 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (3).

슬롯사이트œHe's a great mover. He has improved a lot in the last period of time. It's going to be a tough challenge,슬롯사이트� Sinner said about facing Paul, a 2023 Australian Open semifinalist. 슬롯사이트œHe plays some great tennis, especially here in America.슬롯사이트�

Perhaps there was some wariness on Sinner's part heading into Saturday, given recent events. This is, after all, only the third time in the Open era (the others were in 1973 and 2000) that two of the top three seeded men were gone before the fourth round.

So Sinner woke up as the man considered likeliest to win the U.S. Open, a status that belonged to No. 3 Alcaraz 슬롯사이트� the champion at the French Open and Wimbledon this season 슬롯사이트� before the tournament began. No. 2 Djokovic 슬롯사이트� the defending champ and owner of a men's-record 24 major trophies 슬롯사이트� moved atop the odds when Alcaraz was sent home Thursday night, only to relinquish that after his own early exit Friday night.

The 87th-ranked O'Connell harbored hope of producing yet another surprise, even if he's never beaten a member of the top 10 or been past the third round at a Slam. What van de Zandschulp and Popyrin did allowed O'Connell to dream of producing something similar against Sinner.

슬롯사이트œI mean, yeah, I've got to believe,슬롯사이트� O'Connell said, 슬롯사이트œbut I just felt that he was really on fire.슬롯사이트�

There is something quite difficult about trying to follow up one career-best win with another, and van de Zandschulp didn't really show up on Saturday, eliminated by No. 25 Jack Draper 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. Draper, a 22-year-old left-hander from Britain, never has been past the fourth round a major, and neither has his next opponent, unseeded Tomas Machac, a 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 winner against David Goffin.

슬롯사이트œAfter the match (against Alcaraz), it was a little bit crazy,슬롯사이트� van de Zandschulp said. 슬롯사이트œYou try to think about the next match but you get reminded a lot of the match the day before. So of course it was tough to play today after the last two days.슬롯사이트�
