At the US Open, thieves attempted to steal items from Sinner's bag: What happened.

The incident with the fan at the US Open

According to The Sun: The Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner faced an unpleasant situation at the US Open when a fan attempted to steal his mobile phone and wallet. This happened as he was leaving the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

As a reminder: Sinner, who is celebrating his 23rd birthday, decided to go to the spectators to sign autographs after a clear victory over the Kazakh Alexander Bublik with 6-1 6-1 6-1.

As Sinner turned around to give a towel to one of the spectators, a fan shamelessly tried to open his tennis bag. But the security could intervene in time and prevent the theft.

Sinner, looking upset, left the court, and the video of the incident quickly spread on social media.

„No, I've never experienced anything like that before, ” said Sinner, who has earned over 46 million dollars in prize money in his career.

„I immediately checked to see if anything was missing because there are not just rackets there. I have my phone, my wallet. I don’t know.”

„But I think the security did a good job, especially on the court, where there are many security personnel.”

He also expressed his confidence in the organization of security at major tournaments.

Upcoming Matches and Security

In the evening match, Sinner stunned the audience when he defeated the Italian Lorenzo Musetti 6-1 6-4 6-2 in the semifinals. Now he awaits a duel against the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The security issues at the US Open have sparked much discussion this year. Previously, during the tournament, a 14-year-old boy fell victim to theft when a hat given to him by the Polish player Kamil Majchrzak was snatched from his hands by a businessman.

Sinner has not lost any matches against a player from his home country so far.

The winner of the match against Auger-Aliassime will advance to the final, where either Carlos Alcaraz or Novak Djokovic awaits.

Sinner has won 26 matches on hard courts at Grand Slam tournaments in a row after defeating Musetti.

This incident highlights the importance of security at major sporting events, especially at competitions like the US Open, where every movement of players and spectators is under strict supervision. Sinner continues to impress with his performances at tournaments and eagerly awaits the opportunity to win another major title.
