Jannik Sinner easily defended his US Open title last year. In the first round, the world number one defeated Czech Vit Kopriva (world number 89) in three sets. The match ended 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 in 1 hour and 38 minutes of play.

"It was great to be back here for the last slam of the year," he said immediately after the match at Arthur Ashe Stadium, "in this beautiful atmosphere. I'm happy to be back in good shape. I did everything I could to be in top form. Now we'll see what happens."

«I have wonderful memories of last year. Today I started off on a high note and I'm happy to compete with the best in the world.»
