Cincinnati, Aug 12
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner saved a set point to beat Gabriel Diallo 6-2, 7-6(6) and advanced to the fourth round of the Cincinnati Open.
Play was halted in the second game of the second set in his third-round match with Gabriel Diallo when a fire alarm in the 1899 club grandstand began to sound.
After a delay of several minutes, the players agreed to play through the sound and flashes, playing four points before the alarm ended, ATP reports.
Sinner ultimately closed out the match after saving a set point with a clutch forehand service return in the tie-break.
Sinner is on a 22-match hard-court winning streak since losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the Beijing final in October. He next plays the winner of Tommy Paul and Adrian Mannarino.
Playing his first tournament since winning his first Wimbledon title, Sinner is 27-3 on the season, according to ATP Stats. Just 10 wins away from 300 career wins, Sinner earlier in the tournament became the second player to qualify for November's ATP Finals, where he will be the defending champion.
