Sinner Shines at US Open 2025—World number one Jannik Sinner is on fire at the US Open 2025. The 24-year-old Italian has reached the semis with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over fellow Italian Lorenzo Musetti and is now the favourite to win the title. With a 26-match winning streak on hard court Grand Slams and his relentless style of play, Sinner is getting everyone’s attention. As he prepares himself to face Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semi-finals, let’s look at why Sinner is trending and what makes him so good.
A Dominant Run in New York
Sinner’s journey through the 2025 US Open has been nothing short of spectacular. Starting with a 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 rout of Vit Kopriva in the first round, he dropped just one set across his first four matches, against Denis Shapovalov in the third round. His fourth-round demolition of Alexander Bublik (6-1, 6-1, 6-1) was his quickest Grand Slam victory ever, clocking in at just 81 minutes. In the quarter-finals, Sinner faced fellow Italian Lorenzo Musetti in a historic all-Italian clash. He overwhelmed Musetti with 28 winners to his opponent’s 12, winning 91% of his first-serve points and saving all seven break points. “From my point of view, it was a great performance, excellent,” Sinner said, reflecting on his ability to neutralize Musetti’s game while maintaining relentless pressure.
Why Sinner Is Trending
Sinner’s US Open campaign is generating buzz on platforms like X, where fans are marveling at his consistency and power. His 2025 season has been phenomenal, with 30 wins in 33 matches, including titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon. As the first man to reach the semi-finals of all four Grand Slams in a single season since Rafael Nadal in 2008, Sinner is rewriting records. His hard-court prowess is unmatched, with 17 of his 20 career titles coming on this surface. Social media is abuzz with clips of his pinpoint groundstrokes, lightning-fast footwork, and unflappable demeanor, earning him nicknames like “artificial intelligence” player for his machine-like precision. The excitement is amplified by his quest to become the first man to defend the US Open title since Roger Federer in 2008.
The Semi-Final Showdown
Sinner now faces a formidable challenge in Felix Auger-Aliassime, who holds a 2-1 head-to-head edge over the Italian, with both victories coming in 2022. However, Sinner flipped the script in their most recent meeting at the Cincinnati Open, crushing Auger-Aliassime 6-0, 6-2 in just 67 minutes. The Canadian, seeded 25th, has regained form in New York, upsetting top players like Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev to reach his second US Open semi-final. Despite Auger-Aliassime’s aggressive forehand and strong serve, predictive models give Sinner a 97% chance of winning, citing his superior form and hard-court dominance. The match, set for September 5, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. local time, promises to be a thrilling clash of styles.
What makes Sinner special
Sinner’s success is in his versatility and mental toughness. He hugs the baseline, dictates with powerful groundstrokes, and returns almost every shot. Against Musetti, he won 42 of 46 first serves and converted the key break points and saved all of Musetti’s break points. Off the court, Sinner is humble. He spoke warmly of his friendship with Musetti, with whom they had shared Davis Cup experiences, but said, “We have to take the friendship away” during the match. His connection with fans, especially the Italian ones watching late-night matches, adds to his global appeal. “It’s a special country where we have amazing support,” he said, talking about the Italian fanbase.
Looking Ahead
A victory over Auger-Aliassime could set Sinner up for a blockbuster final against Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz, both of whom are in the other half of the draw. With a 26-match hard-court Grand Slam winning streak and a 97% first-serve win rate in recent matches, Sinner is poised to make history. His ability to stay composed under pressure, as seen in his comeback against Shapovalov, makes him a formidable contender. As he aims for his fifth major title, the tennis world is watching to see if Sinner can tame the unpredictable US Open and cement his legacy as one of the sport’s all-time greats.
