In the thrilling third round of the US Open 2025, Jannik Sinner showcased his resilience and dominance under pressure, defeating Denis Shapovalov in a four-set contest. Sinner served 2 aces compared to Shapovalov's 1, but it was Sinner's ability to capitalise on crucial moments that truly set him apart. He converted 6 out of 13 break point opportunities, securing a total of 128 points.

Meanwhile, in another exciting match, Naomi Osaka continued her impressive run, defeating Daria Kasatkina in straight sets (6-0, 4-6, 6-3). Osaka's first set victory against Kasatkina was particularly noteworthy, as she demonstrated her formidable skills early on.

As Osaka prepares for her next match against Coco Gauff, she has expressed hope for support from the crowd. "Can somebody come to the match and cheer for me because it's tough playing an American here," Osaka said. "I hope you guys adopted me as well. I see her as a little sister."

The match between Osaka and Gauff is highly anticipated, with Osaka leading their head-to-head record 3-2. However, Gauff won their only prior encounter at the US Open in 2019.

Following his victory, Sinner will face Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2025. Sinner's victory marked an extension of his unbeaten streak in Grand Slam hard court matches, which now stands at 24.

The US Open 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting tournament, with these two victories setting the stage for more thrilling matches to come. Stay tuned for updates on the tournament's progress.
