US Open—Flushing Meadows, New York
Thursday’s second round matches at the US Open featured Jannik Sinner, Madison Keys and Grigor Dimitrov all advancing to the third round.
Former semifinalist Grigor Dimitrov needed three easy sets to oust former winner Andy Murray. Dimitrov, who is continuing to rebuild his ranking after dipping in the rankings, will next face Alexander Zverev for a place in round four.
Italian star Jannik Sinner continued to show why he will be a Major winner someday. Needing two hours and five minutes to oust his countryman Lorenzo Sonego, Sinner will take on Stan Wawrinka or Tomas Martin Etcheverry in round three.
