Jannick Sinner advances to US Open third round, Hurkacz and Korda eliminated

Jannik Sinner advanced to the third round of the U.S. Open after defeating Alex Michelsen 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. The top-ranked Italian player secured his 50th victory of the season and extended his ATP Tour-leading 30th win on hard courts. This marks Sinner’s second win over Michelsen this month, following their match in Cincinnati.

Italian player Jasmine Paolini advanced in the tournament after Karolina Pliskova appeared to suffer a left foot injury just three points into their match. Paolini, seeded No. 5, reached the finals of the French Open and Wimbledon, and this is her first time advancing to the third round of the U.S. Open.

In other results, No. 7 seed Hurbert Hurkacz was eliminated in straight sets by Jordan Thompson, and No. 16 Sebastian Korda was defeated by Tomas Machac, marking unexpected exits for both players in the tournament.
