Jannik Sinner ends Terence Atmane's run in Cincinnati, scores 200th hard-court win of career

Terence Atmane has had a breakthrough week and a half in Cincinnati, not only reaching the first ATP semifinal of his career—and at a Masters 1000 event, no less—but also scoring the first two Top 10 wins of his career along the way, against No. 4 Taylor Fritz and No. 9 Holger Rune.

On Saturday, though, the No. 1 was just too tough.

Jannik Sinner ended the No. 136-ranked French qualifier’s run, sneaking out a close first set in a tie-break before rolling to a 7-6 (4), 6-2 victory.

And it was a milestone win: the 200th hard-court win of his career.

The world No. 1, who turned 24 on Saturday, is the first man born in the 2000s to record 200 career wins on hard courts.
