Jannik Sinner withdraws from the new US Open mixed doubles event. He and Siniakova will be replaced

NEW YORK (AP) — Jannik Sinner pulled out of the U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament shortly before it began on Tuesday, a day after he quit in the first set of the Cincinnati Open final because he was feeling ill. The No. 1-ranked Sinner, the defending champion in singles at Flushing Meadows, was supposed to compete in mixed doubles with Katerina Siniakova. The U.S. Tennis Association announced the withdrawal less than an hour before the first contests were scheduled to be played in the new mixed doubles event. The USTA said Sinner and Siniakova would be replaced in the 16-team draw by an alternate duo with the highest combined singles ranking. ___ AP tennis:

Fernandez solves ‘setback' with opening-round win at Monterrey Open

Leylah Fernandez, of Canada, tracks the ball during her round match against Maya Joint, of Australia, at the National Bank Open tennis tournament in Montreal, Tuesday, July 29, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graham Hughes MONTERREY — Leylah Fernandez needed a major confidence boost after back-to-back opening-round exits at the National Bank Open in Montreal and Cincinnati Open. The 22-year-old from Laval, Que., got it Monday night in Mexico with a 6-3, 7-5 first-round victory over Jaqueline Cristian of Romania at the WTA 500 Monterrey Open, where she is a former two-time champion. The seventh-seeded Fernandez, who posted on Instagram that 'I like to think every setback is just a setup for the comeback,' won the first set in 35 precision-filled minutes. Both players stayed on serve in the tight second set until Fernandez broke Cristian at 5-5, then served out to win 7-5 to take the match in one hour, 33 minutes. Fernandez, who won the Washington Open last month, advances to the round of 16 and will face the winner of a match between Rebecca Sramkova of Slovakia and Victoria Rodriguez of Mexico. Cristian, who got stronger as Monday's match progressed, finished with five aces and three double faults. Fernandez had three aces and one double fault. Fernandez held an advantage on first serves, winning 86 per cent of her points on first serve, compared to 76 for Cristian. Fernandez won two of five break points and took 24 points while receiving. Cristian had 23 unforced errors, 11 more than Fernandez. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 18, 2025.
