<p>Jannik Sinner won his 50th match of the year on Thursday to reach the US Open third round as 2022 champion Iga Swiatek stormed through.</p>
<p>World No. 1 Sinner defeated America&rsquo;s 49th-ranked Alex Michelsen 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 to make the last 32 in New York for a fourth successive year. The 23-year-old Italian had already defeated his Californian rival just two weeks ago in Cincinnati and he repeated that outcome for his 30th hard court victory of 2024.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sinner unleashed 28 winners and broke serve eight times. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a very tough opponent. We played each other in Cincinnati. I knew what to expect, he knew what to expect a little,&rdquo; said Sinner.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sinner went on to claim his fifth title of the season in Cincinnati. A day later it was revealed that Sinner had escaped a ban despite twice testing positive for an anabolic agent in March, authorities accepting his explanation that the result was the result of contamination. He will face Australia&rsquo;s Christopher O&rsquo;Connell for a place in the last 16.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Swiatek then saw likely semi-final opponent Elena Rybakina withdraw from the tournament ahead of her second round clash with 143rd-ranked French qualifier Jessika Ponchet.</p>
