It is undoubtedly the big surprise of this ATP Cincinnati 2025. No one saw it coming, but from the 136th position in the ATP Ranking, Terence Atmane continues to defy all odds in this American Masters 1000. And now, after defeating Holger Rune in the quarterfinals, the Frenchman faces one of the toughest challenges in tennis today: going up against Jannik Sinner.

Following his incredible journey in the event held in Ohio, Terence ensures himself a place in the Top 70, at least, marking the highest ranking of his career. These were the words of the French player after overcoming his quarterfinal match and advancing to face Jannik Sinner in the semifinals.

"It was a fantastic match. I had a great time on the court, enjoyed it a lot. It's moments like these that make me train so hard every day. It's all positive emotions. I can't wait for Saturday to play the semifinal," Atmane said in a statement to L'Equipe.

His words about Jannik Sinner

"He's a person with two arms and two legs, like me. He's the world number 1, wins Grand Slams, bravo to him. Saturday's match will be very interesting for me. After defeating the number 4 and number 9 in the world, I'll face the number one. I'll see what the highest level is like. I'm looking forward to it, I'll approach it like the other matches. Anyway, I have nothing to lose. Since the start of the tournament, I have nothing to lose, and that won't change on Saturday."

His victory over Rune

"I managed to elevate my game so much that I feel it would have been the same with any other opponent. However, these are what we call 'hot' sets, but these are things in my repertoire that can be exploited and repeated. It will be my job to repeat that. I had quite a bit of control over what I was doing. He (Rune) started to laugh a bit, saying he was playing with his eyes closed, but no, most of the time, I had control."

With eyes closed or not, Terence will face the most important match of his career to date this Saturday, both due to the stage, the semifinals of a Masters 1000, and the opponent he's confronting, Jannik Sinner, who is also defending the title in this ATP Cincinnati 2025.
