In the wake of upset losses by No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 2 Novak Djokovic, men's world No. 1 Jannik Sinner advanced comfortably into the second week of the US Open on Saturday.
Sinner enjoyed a businesslike 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over Australia's Christopher O'Connell to reach the round of 16, where he awaits the winner of Gabriel Diallo and Tommy Paul.
Sinner ensured that dubious history was not made Saturday at Flushing Meadows; since the start of the Open era in 1968, there has never been a US Open without any of the men's top-three seeds in the round of 16.
