NEW YORK ( Khyber Point) The US Open 2025 kicked off with a dazzling display of dominance from two of tennis’s brightest stars, Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek, as both players breezed past their first-round opponents in emphatic style.
World No.1 and reigning Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner crushed the Czech Republic’s Vit Kopriva in straight sets, winning 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 in just 39 minutes. Sinner’s clinical performance left no room for error as he successfully saved both break points he faced and won 33 of his 40 first-serve points. His flawless rhythm on serve and aggressive baseline hitting ensured Kopriva had little opportunity to respond.
Meanwhile, second-seeded Iga Swiatek, the reigning French Open champion, stamped her authority at Arthur Ashe Stadium with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 victory over Colombia’s Emiliana Arango. The Polish star needed just an hour to dismantle her opponent, never facing a single break point throughout the match. Swiatek dominated with precision, winning all eight of her service games with ease and holding a massive 26–5 advantage in winners.
The victories mark a strong start for both champions as they chase glory in New York. Sinner, who has been in red-hot form this season, looks set to continue his momentum, while Swiatek’s all-court mastery has already sent a warning to her rivals.
The US Open 2025, the final Grand Slam of the year, runs from August 24 to September 7 in New York City. With early favorites already showcasing top-class performances, fans can expect thrilling encounters and potential upsets in the coming rounds.
