The world number one eventually emerged as the victor, winning 6-4 7-6.<\/p>\n
Sinner faces 23rd seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals, a player who has beaten Sinner in both of their previous two meetings.<\/p>\n

With victory over Mannarino, Sinner accomplished something only the \u2018Big Three\u2019 have achieved since 1990.<\/p>\n
Jannik Sinner joins the \u2018Big Three\u2019<\/p>\n
Jannik Sinner\u2019s greatness has already been cemented after lifting his first Wimbledon title in July.<\/p>\n
However, the 23-year-old has broken into new territory with his latest victory: joining a conversation with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.<\/p>\n
As per OptaAce, Jannik Sinner has reached a ninth consecutive ATP Masters 1000 quarter-final.<\/p>\n
The Italian has now become the fourth player since 1990 to achieve the feat after Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.<\/p>\n
If Sinner can defeat Felix Auger-Aliassime for the first time in his career when they play in the quarter-finals, the Italian will have moved a step closer to defending the 1000 points he achieved by winning the Cincinnati Open in 2024.<\/p>\n
Sinner\u2019s potential semi-final opponent is either seventh seed Holger Rune<\/a> or qualifier Terence Atmane<\/a>, the 23-year-old Frenchman who has enjoyed a marvellous week in Cincinnati, defeating Taylor Fritz, Flavio Cobolli and Joao Fonseca on his way to the quarter-final stage.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner\u2019s near-perfect statistic<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner\u2019s brutal consistency was demonstrated yet again on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n Despite only landing 55 per cent of his first serves against Adrian Mannarino, the Italian managed to win 33 of those 34 points.<\/p>\n It is therefore not surprising that Mannarino had only one break-point opportunity on the Italian\u2019s serve, one which was not converted.<\/p>\n However, a more surprising statistic comes in the form of total service points won. Mannarino won 52 to Sinner\u2019s 48.<\/p>\n In contrast, Sinner dominated the receiving statistics, capturing 31 points to Mannarino\u2019s 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jannik Sinner has continued his excellent summertime form, defeating French stalwart Adrian Mannarino in the Cincinnati Open fourth…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[11933,49,48,26217,615,2083,7627,2189,82,593],"class_list":{"0":"post-69433","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-atp-tennis-players","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-cincinnati-open","12":"tag-jannik-sinner","13":"tag-novak-djokovic","14":"tag-rafael-nadal","15":"tag-roger-federer","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sinner_mannarino-min-863x1024.jpg\")
