The match, held on Arthur Ashe Court, showcased Sinner's resilience as he won with scores of 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5), and 6-1. This victory comes after a tumultuous period for Sinner, who faced scrutiny due to previous anti-doping test failures but managed to avoid a ban. His performance against Paul indicates he is mentally prepared for the challenges ahead.
