Jannik Sinner didn’t give the impression of being rattled by the storm he endured last week. The Italian was thrown into turmoil when he tested positive for the doping agent Lotibol during the Indian Wells tournament in March but has been cleared by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA). However, he made a successful comeback in the first round of the US Open on Tuesday, August 27. World No. 1 wins in four sets Match against American Mackenzie McDonald, ranked 140th in the world, in 2 hours and 24 seconds (2-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2).
The American, ranked 140 in the world, played the match without any complexity and dominated his opponent from the start, never giving up despite a tough start to the second set. The first two sets took 44 minutes, and Sinner wasted no time as he completed the last two sets in about 30 minutes. He will face American Alex Michelson (ranked 49th in the world) for a place in the third round.
