Tennis-Tracker
5:54 p.m. – US OPEN – A good start for the two Germans Eva Lys and Maximilian Marterer. Both are currently performing positively in the first round of the US Open qualifying tournament. Lys dominated Gabriela Knutson 6:2 in the first set. Marterer triumphed in a similarly convincing 6:3 against Jack Kennedy.
17:39 – JANNIK SINNER – World number one Jannik Sinner tested positive twice at the beginning of the year. Why he was acquitted by an independent court and how the positive test came about, you can find out more in this article.
16:43 – ODD – In addition to his excellent playing skills, Corentin Moutet also has the ability to test his opponents’ nerves. Although this behavior is often highly entertaining, it can be too much of a good thing for opponents. His first-round opponent Nicolas Mejia probably thought the same thing.
To the match center: Mejia vs. Moutet
During the match at the ATP tournament in Winston-Salem, which Moutet won 2:0 (7:6; 6:1), the Frenchman demanded that his opponent be disqualified. “That’s a default. You can’t insult your opponent,” Moutet said, clearly in a good mood, to chair umpire Adel Nour. But the referee didn’t get involved in his games.
14:38 – WILDCARD US OPEN – Dominic Thiem can say goodbye to the big tennis stage. The 30-year-old has received a wildcard for the US Open.
In New York, the former world number three will play his last Grand Slam tournament. Thiem had not quite expected this: “I’m really looking forward to the US Open because it was a bit surprising that I got the wildcard again.”
Four years ago, he celebrated his greatest success in Flushing Meadows when he defeated Alexander Zverev in the final. He is very grateful for the wildcard and is looking forward to taking part in the tournament on the American east coast.
His goal is “naturally” a first round win, “but that absolutely depends on the draw.” This will take place on Thursday.
After the current season, the Lower Austrian will end his career. The reason for this is recurring wrist problems, which have regularly plagued Thiem since an injury he suffered in 2021. The Lichtenwörther will celebrate his final farewell from the tennis stage at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna (October 21 to 27).
14:20 – LAVER CUP PARTICIPANTS – The Laver Cup will take place in Berlin from September 20th to 22nd. In the tournament organized by Roger Federer, six top players will compete for points for “Team Europe” or for “Team World”. All twelve participants in this year’s edition have now been confirmed.
Hamburg’s Alexander Zverev, veteran Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas are competing for Europe. Surprisingly, Alejandro Tabilo was nominated for the world selection.
This season, the Chilean has reached the semi-finals of the Rome Masters, among other things, and at the end of June he secured the title at the ATP 250 in Mallorca. Tabilo will play in Berlin alongside Alex de Minaur, Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton.
11:19 am – After the first qualifying matches with German participation yesterday evening, two DTB players also played in New York tonight. In the men’s competition, Rudolf Molleker had to leave again: he lost to Yu Hsiou Hsu 6:4, 4:6, 5:7. Ella Seidel did better in the women’s competition – she won 1:6, 7:6 (8:6), 6:4 against the Spaniard Aliona Bolsova Zadoinov.
7:49 am – With the end of the ATP and WTA tournament in Cincinnati, attention now turns to the US Open in New York. This Tuesday, there are more matches in the first round of the qualifying tournament. In the late afternoon at 5 p.m., Maxi Marterer and Eva Lys will face their first tough test on the American east coast. From 6:30 p.m., Yannick Hanfmann will have to face his first hurdle, before Nastasja Schunk’s performance in the late evening at 9:30 p.m. compliments the German ensemble.
6:38 am – Good morning and welcome to the tennis tracker. On Tuesday night, Jannik Sinner triumphed in the final in Cincinnati against Frances Tiafoe with 2:0 (7:6; 6:2). The American was able to hold his own in the first set and only had to admit defeat in a tiebreak before Sinner showed his class in the second set and gave Tiafoe no chance. To the match report
This is already the fifth title for the Italian this calendar year. After the Australian Open, Rotterdam, Miami and Halle, Sinner can also prevail in Cincinnati. As long as the 23-year-old’s hip and health hold up, there is nothing to stop him from adding another title. The first chance will be at the upcoming US Open in New York. As the world number one, he is now naturally one of the favorites there too.

From 5:00 p.m.: Maximilian Marterer vs. Jack Kennedy
