Jannik Sinner has been the man to watch this summer, riding a scorching win streak as he heads into the Cincinnati Open semifinals. On Saturday, he’ll face French breakout star Terence Atmane with a spot in the final — and a 26th straight hard-court victory — on the line.

Jannik defeated Terence Atmane in the semi-final in Ohio, celebrating his 200th ATP hard-court win and becoming the eighth-youngest player to achieve that in the Open era, standing right behind Rafael Nadal.

Frenchman Terence Atmane made sure Jannik Sinner had a 24th birthday to remember, gifting the world number one a Pokemon card before going on to lose their semi-final meeting at the Cincinnati Open on Saturday.

Before stepping onto the court for his semifinal clash with Terence Atmane, Jannik Sinner found himself in a very different kind of spotlight at the Cincinnati Masters. The world No. 1, usually known for his laser focus and ruthless shot-making, melted hearts when he spent time playing with an adorable puppy that was up for adoption.

Jannik Sinner celebrated his 24th birthday on the semi-final day in Cincinnati. The Italian faced Terence Atmane in the last four and earned a 7-6, 6-2 victory in an hour and 26 minutes for a place in the title clash.
