It's Day 6 of the U.S. Open tennis tournament in Flushing Meadows, New York and completion of third round action in men's and women's singles.
Jannik Sinner has avoided the sort of monumental upset that knocked Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz out of the U.S. Open in recent days. The top-ranked Sinner never gave his third-round opponent on Saturday even a moment to hope for that sort of victory. Sinner beat Chris O'Connell 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in under two hours. Since dropping his opening set at Flushing Meadows, Sinner has won nine in a row, dropping a total of just 18 games. American Tommy Paul, the No. 14 seed, advanced to face him by beating qualifier Gabriel Diallo in four sets.
Other men's winners included Jack Draper and Tomas Machac.
On the women's side, No. 5 Jasmine Paolina, No. 6 Jessica Pegula, No. 16 Liudmila Samsonova, No. 18 Diana Schnaider, 2018 Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki and past French Open finalist Karolina Muchova all won in straight sets during afternoon action.
