US Open Third Round: Sinner Faces O'Connell, Swiatek Takes on Pavlyuchenkova

Posted : 31 August 2024

The US Open's third round heats up on Saturday as top players vie for Grand Slam success in New York. Among the featured matches, men's top seed Jannik Sinner will face Christopher O'Connell, while women's top seed Iga Swiatek is set to play against former quarterfinalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Australian 10th seed Alex de Minaur, recovering from a hip injury, will compete against Britain's Dan Evans, and fifth seed Daniil Medvedev will take on Flavio Cobolli.

 

Alex de Minaur, who struggled with a hip cartilage tear that caused him to withdraw from Wimbledon and miss the Paris Olympics, managed to advance past Otto Virtanen in straight sets. Despite his ongoing injury concerns, De Minaur is focused on competing at his best and keeping expectations in check as he prepares to face the seasoned Dan Evans.

 

In the women's draw, Iga Swiatek, a former champion and five-time Grand Slam winner, breezed through her second-round match against Ena Shibahara, losing only one game. Swiatek will meet Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, whom she defeated convincingly in their previous encounter last year. Swiatek aims to maintain her solid performance and stay focused throughout the match.

 

Jannik Sinner, the Australian Open champion and world No. 1, is dealing with the fallout from a positive steroid test earlier this year, though he avoided a ban. Sinner faces Christopher O'Connell, whom he previously lost to but defeated in their most recent match. Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev, the fifth seed, will encounter Flavio Cobolli, who brings an explosive playing style to the court. Medvedev, unfamiliar with Cobolli’s game, is intrigued by his opponent's aggressive approach.
