Everything is going according to plan for Janik Siner at the US Open, the tournament in which he is defending his title.
The world number one looked powerful in the first round against Czech Vit Kopriva, and he left an even better impression in the duel with the uneasy Australian.
The Italian was unable to be threatened by Aleksei Popirin, so the match at the Arthur Ashe Stadium lasted just over two hours - Siner won in three sets (6:3, 6:2, 6:2).
In all three sets, Janik broke his rival's serve early and immediately put things in their place, with only a few games in which Popirin threatened break chances when the favorite defended without any problems.
His next rival will be Denis Shapovalov.
