Jannik Sinner Draws $300K Backing as American Star Drake Makes a Bold US Open Prediction

This major season, Jannik Sinner has rarely looked fragile, yet for a fleeting moment in his US Open third-round clash, Denis Shapovalov had him wobbling, snatching the first set and racing to a 3-0 lead in the third. But Sinner, true to his name, roared back with iron resolve, taking three straight sets and then dismantling Alexander Bublik in the R16. Now, as the battle for New York’s crown intensifies, the Italian stands as the heavy favorite, and with none other than five-time Grammy titan Drake throwing his weight behind him, destiny feels even more charged with fire.

The No. 1 player in the ATP Rankings delivered a masterclass on Monday, dismantling 23rd seed Alexander Bublik with ruthless precision to storm into the US Open quarterfinals. A sensational Sinner allowed the free-spirited Kazakhstani just three games, sealing a 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 victory that felt more like a statement than a match. The scoreline not only underscored his dominance but also matched his most commanding Grand Slam triumph, earlier this year, he blasted past Jiri Lehecka 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 at Roland Garros.

Now, with his hard-court game sharpened to steel and his title defense burning brighter, the Italian looks almost untouchable. Every strike screams intent, every step carries purpose, and the storm he’s conjuring in New York has only gained more momentum with five-time Grammy icon Drake throwing his full support behind him. The stage is set, the energy is electric, and Sinner is writing his empire in bold strokes.

The Tennis Letter’s X page dropped raw footage that set the buzz ablaze. Drake just placed a $300K bet on Jannik Sinner to win the US Open.

If the Italian delivers, the rapper’s gamble transforms into a thunderous $507K payout, high stakes riding on Sinner’s shoulders.
