Sinner did not want to compare himself with the Big 4, admitting they are on a different level. Instead, he is writing his own story while chasing more records and tennis immortality.

Jannik Sinner has been the man to watch this summer, riding a scorching win streak as he heads into the Cincinnati Open semifinals. On Saturday, he’ll face French breakout star Terence Atmane with a spot in the final — and a 26th straight hard-court victory — on the line.

Carlos Alcaraz will face off against Jannik Sinner in the final of the Cincinnati Open on Monday after the Spaniard took down Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-3 in the early hours of Sunday morning in Ohio.

On July 23, Sinner's team confirmed that Umberto Ferrara, who had initially been let go in the wake of the positive Clostebol case, had been rehired as a fitness coach.

Sinner is on a 22-match winning streak on hard courts. Players who had longer hardcourt winning streaks in this century: Roger Federer (56, 36, 26) Novak Djokovic (35, 29, 26, 23) Andy Murray (28) Rafa Nadal (26) And that's it.

Terence spoke about Jannik and dropped an ultimate praise, calling him the most incredible player we have seen in our lifetime! Regardless of their ranking, Atmane will try to impose his tennis and provide a stunner.

Unseeded Terence Atmane has stormed the semi-finals in Cincinnati, toppling some of the leading names on the ATP circuit.

The US Open mixed doubles draw took an unexpected turn less than a week before the start. Emma Navarro withdrew from the event, leaving world no. 1 Jannik Sinner without a partner.
