JAKARTA The world number one, Jannik Sinner, appeared strong and only lost four games in the dominant victory over Vit Kopriva in the first round of the US Open 2025.
The defending champion won 6-1, 6-1, and 6-2 over the Czech Republic in one hour 38 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Flushing Meadows, New York, United States, on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, morning WIB.
"I am very happy because I am fit again. We (I and the coaching team) have done my best for me to be in the best condition here," said Sinner after BBC Sport's win.
Sinner appeared in the United States after previously getting sick which forced him to withdraw from the final match of the Cincinnati Open 2025 against Carlos Alcaraz.
