There will be seven Italians on the field Thursday, August 29ththe day on which the program of the second round of the Us Openthe fourth and final Slam of the season underway on the hard courts of Flushing Meadows, New York. All eyes are on Jannik Sinner e Jasmine Paoliniwho both passed the first round with a comeback and a few thrills.
Sinner against the revelation Michelsen
Starting with Sinner, the world number one (who will remain so regardless of the result he gets in the tournament), he hopes to have fewer worries than in the debut match against McDonald, who was able to take home the first set, before suffering the comeback of the Italian, who started too tense. At 6 pm, Sinner awaits one of the revelations of this season, the 20-year-old American Alex Michelsenlast week beaten in the final at the ATP 250 in Winston Salem by Sonego. There is a fresh precedent (the only one), played last August 14 at the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati: victory for the South Tyrolean 6-4, 7-5.

The other Italians at the US Open
Watching other Italian matches, there is a chance to get thein plein. Flavio Cobolli awaits the world number 80, the Belgian Zizou Bergscoming from the marathon in the first round against the Russian Kotov, tamed in the decisive tie break of the fifth set. The Italian starts as the favorite. Similar speech for Mattia Bellucciclose to entering the top 100, after the authoritative success over Stan Wawrinka, winner of the 2016 edition. The 23-year-old from Busto Arsizio will face the Australian Christopher O’Connellwho beat Chilean Jarry in the first round. The match was slightly more complicated on paper Matthew Arnaldi against the Russian Roman Safiullinwho won the only previous match last January 5th in Brisbane and who in recent weeks triumphed at the Cary Challenger (beating Bellucci in the final). In short, opponents not to be underestimated but overall within reach.

Pliskova’s threat for Paolini
Moving on to the women’s tournament, she returns to the field Jasmine Paulini after her third consecutive victory in the Slams over Canadian Bianca Andreescu, who will probably dream of her at night. The finalist of the last Roland Garros and Wimbledon will play against Karolina Pliskovaformer world number 1, but slipped to position no. 44 in the WTA ranking. However, the Czech is not to be underestimated both for her powerful serve, and for the only precedent (Australian Open 2021) clearly won by 60, 6-2. Sarah Errani wants to continue to amaze and will try to overturn the odds against the American Caroline Dolehidecapable of surprisingly eliminating her compatriot Collins in the first round. She closes the program Elizabeth Cocciarettoengaged against the Russian expert Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova:proceeding to the third round is not that impossible.
