Tommy Paul before his match with Jannik Sinner: Why shouldn’t I also make a big sensation?
In the early hours of September 3rd, Jannik Sinner and Tommy Paul will go head-to-head in a battle for a place in the quarter-finals of the US Open. For many, the world’s number 1 is the big favorite to win the title, but against him the Italian will have a very dangerous opponent, who will also receive serious support from the American public.
“I can’t wait to go out on the Arthur Ashe court and face Yannick.” The fact that we will be playing on the biggest tennis stage in the world is wonderful and I am ready to give my all on the court. I’m sure the atmosphere will be amazing and I believe in my abilities. As for the losses of Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, I think that such surprises only make the tournament even more interesting and unpredictable”, said Tommy Paul. “Also, why shouldn’t I also make a big sensation? I’ve faced Yannick three times and so far he leads the head-to-head with 2 to 1 wins, but I think if I play my best tennis, our chances are equal and anyone can win. I’m ready for a fight and hopefully we can give the people a real show”, added the American tennis player, who is world’s number 14.
Jannik Sinner eliminated Mackenzie McDonald, Alex Michelsen, and Christopher O’Connell en route to the Round of 16, while his opponent defeated Lorenzo Sonego, Max Purcell, and Gabriel Diallo.
