World number one Jannik Sinner began his bid for back-to-back US Open titles with an emphatic victory on Tuesday as women's draw favourite Iga Swiatek swept into the second round.

Sinner did not want to compare himself with the Big 4, admitting they are on a different level. Instead, he is writing his own story while chasing more records and tennis immortality.

Terence spoke about Jannik and dropped an ultimate praise, calling him the most incredible player we have seen in our lifetime! Regardless of their ranking, Atmane will try to impose his tennis and provide a stunner.

After cruising past Daniel Galan and Gabriel Diallo in Cincinnati, Jannik Sinner is now set to collide with French standout Adrian Mannarino in the Round of 16 today.

The move comes after Sinner recently removed fitness coach Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio from his team.
