The Italian eases into the third round with a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 win over Lorenzo Sonego.
NEW YORK: Italian sixth seed Jannik Sinner remained on course for a US Open quarterfinal rematch with Carlos Alcaraz on Thursday as former champion Andy Murray tumbled out.
Sinner overpowered Sonego with a dominant service game, conceding a meagre 10 points on serve and not giving his opponent a single break point throughout the two-hour encounter. Sinner will play either 2016 US Open champion Stan Wawrinka or Tomas Etcheverry in the third round on Saturday, with Germany’s 12th seed Alex Zverev possibly lurking in the last 16 before any meeting with Alcaraz.
Former world No 3 Dimitrov, who saved three match points in the opening round, meets 2020 runner-up Zverev for a place in the last 16.
