Sinner dominates Diallo in Cincinnati: straight-set victory and advance to the round of 16

Jannik Sinner continues to prove why he's the world number one, posting another convincing victory at the Cincinnati Masters 1000. The South Tyrolean defeated Canadian Gabriel Diallo 6-2, 7-6 in one hour and 52 minutes of play, confirming his solidity both on serve and in extended rallies. The first set was a monologue, with Sinner breaking serve twice and dictating the pace. The second set was more evenly matched, with Diallo attempting to up the pressure but succumbing in the tie-break, which the Italian won with composure.

Immediately after the match, Sinner asked his team to "reserve a court" to continue his preparations for the round of 16, a sign of the hunger and focus he's showing at this stage of the season. With this victory, the Italian champion cements his place among the tournament favorites, aiming for another Masters 1000 title before the US Open.
