Jannik Sinner: Will he win the title at the US Open 2025?

Jannik Sinner played his way into the semi-finals of the US Open with an impressive 6:1, 6:4, 6:2 win against Lorenzo Musetti. The 24-year-old only needed two hours to secure superior success. With this victory, Sinner has already won the Grand Slam tournaments in Australia and Wimbledon this year and is well on his way to defending his title in New York. This could put him in the spotlight as the first player to achieve this since Roger Federer between 2004 and 2008. Musetti himself highlights Sinner's strength, which put him under a lot of pressure.

In his tournament so far, Sinner has only lost a total of 38 games to his opponents in five rounds and has impressed with a remarkable series of won matches on hard courts in Grand Slam tournaments. Expectations are rising in the semi-final as he could potentially face Carlos Alcaraz again, who faces Novak Djokovic in the other semi-final.

Rivalry and dominance of new generation players

Sinner and Alcaraz have faced each other in the last two Grand Slam finals, with Alcaraz winning the French Open and Sinner Wimbledon. This rivalry is increasingly being compared to historic duels such as that of Federer and Nadal. Novak Djokovic is also worried about the two talents and calls them the best players in the world. Sinner and Alcaraz have currently won the last seven Grand Slam titles and nine of the last twelve major tournament titles. While Alcaraz can look back on an impressive record of 39 wins in the last 41 games this season, Sinner only returned in May after a three-month doping ban and has been achieving consistent success ever since.

Boris Becker has also previously praised Alcaraz's strong performances at the US Open and noted that the competition for the top spot in men's tennis is more intense than ever. Felix Auger-Aliassime is seen as a potential stumbling block for Sinner in the upcoming matches, even if many experts see him as having little chance.

Betting and public attention

The public attention on Sinner is enormous, which is particularly reflected in the bets. Celebrities like rapper Drake have bet $300,000 on Sinner, which could potentially result in a profit of $507,000. Such bets highlight the growing interest in the Italian tennis star and his future in the sport.

So the betting could increase in the coming period, especially if Sinner continues its successful run and reaches the final. The tennis world is watching eagerly to see how developments at the 2025 US Open will continue to unfold.

For Sinner, another triumph at the US Open could not only cement his place in tennis history, but also help ensure that his name often appears in discussions about the best players in Grand Slam history in the future, as already recorded in the historical lists that document the various winners of the tournaments.
