World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is back in action in defense of his Cincinnati Open men’s singles title, battling Terence Atmane in Saturday’s semifinal round.

Jannik Sinner has reached the final of the Cincinnati Masters for the second consecutive time. On Saturday (August 16), he knocked out Terence Atmane 7-6(4), 6-2 to book a spot in a final for the fifth time this season.

Unless you’re a tennis die-hard, you probably didn’t know much about Terence Atmane before this week. The 23-year-old Frenchman is ranked as the World No. 136 and has played just 14 matches on the ATP Tour in the last calendar year.

Emma Navarro withdrew from the mixed doubles championship at the U.S. Open, but Katerina Siniakova will replace her and partner with Jannik Sinner.

Cincinnati Open volunteer Phil Carver adopted the puppy that Jannik Sinner met after a match. Later, Carver got to meet Sinner at his birthday party.

In a new " Daily Dose of Social Media," the world number one Jannik Sinner celebrated his birthday with an array of gifts, including a special card from the collection from one of his opponents in Cincinnati.

Sinner did not want to compare himself with the Big 4, admitting they are on a different level. Instead, he is writing his own story while chasing more records and tennis immortality. There is a direct correlation between Jannik Sinner’s success and a small little lion in his bag 🦁 pic.twitter.com/KjX6Y5OyUe
