But the world number one takes the first set on his fourth opportunity when Kopriva goes long with a forehand.
Just over half an hour gone, and Sinner is firmly in charge.
*Sinner 5-1 Kopriva
There's a sympathetic cheer as Vit Kopriva finally gets on the board.
Now he just has to recover that double break...

We've only had 19 minutes of play and Sinner is already 5-0 up.
*Sinner 4-0 Kopriva
Jannik Sinner is on a 21-match winning streak in hard-court Grand Slams - it's a tough ask for Vit Kopriva, who has never played a main-draw match at the US Open before, and finds himself on Arthur Ashe Stadium playing the world number one.
The Italian holds serve to love and then breaks Kopriva to love.
The top seed hasn't quite found his service rhythm yet but already he's a double-break up.
Haddad Maia 6-3 1-6 6-1 Kartal
The three British players that were in singles action on the first two days of the US Open made it safely through to round two, but the two Britons we've seen so far today have been beaten in their first-round matches.
Fran Jones, Billy Harris and Jacob Fearnley are in first-round action later today.
Haddad Maia 6-3 1-6 6-1 Kartal
Image source, Getty ImagesSonay Kartal's US Open main-draw debut ends at the first hurdle.
Having forced a decider, the British number three was clearly hampered by something in the final set - either cramp or an injury which severely restricted her movement at times.
Beatriz Haddad Maia had her own physical problems to contend with in the third set, struggling to move on occasions, but the Brazilian 18th seed is through to round two.
*Haddad Maia 6-3 1-6 5-1 Kartal
Sonay Kartal hits a forehand winner.
Beatriz Haddad Maia with a double fault.
Two match points saved.
*Sinner 2-0 Kopriva
Jannik Sinner is taken to deuce in his opening service game but holds comfortably.
The Italian, wearing the elbow sleeve that he has sported since Wimbledon, had to pull out of the Cincinnati final against Carlos Alcaraz last week with illness, which he says he has now recovered from.
And he looks in good shape as he immediately earns two break points on Kopriva's opening serve - one is enough.

Two match points for Beatriz Haddad Maia on her own serve.

If any young players want to look at how to react through ups and downs, have a look at Haddad Maia, she's constantly positive, making positive engagement with her team whether losing or not.
She's moving fine now - amazing fight and heart from her.
*Haddad Maia 6-3 1-6 5-1 Kartal
Beatriz Haddad Maia gets it done this time, sending a return down the line for a winner.
She will serve for the match now.

Into a fourth deuce in Sonay Kartal's service game - just what both players would have wanted with their bodies creaking.
To be fair, both are moving a little bit better now.
Beatriz Haddad Maia has a fourth chance to break in this game but Kartal holds firm as the Brazilian finds the net.
But hang on - here's another break point...
*Sinner 0-0 Kopriva
We're under way on Arthur Ashe Stadium as world number one Jannik Sinner opens his US Open campaign against Vit Kopriva of the Czech Republic, who is making his debut at this Grand Slam.

Tenth seed Lorenzo Musetti is looking in good shape against Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, wrapping up the third set to take a firm hold of the match.
World number 37 Mpetshi Perricard is famed for his booming serve but Musetti has broken him twice in the match so far, without yet facing a break point himself.
It's been a miserable couple of months for Italian Musetti, who struggled with injury after reaching the semi-finals of the French Open, but he is looking back to his best on Louis Armstrong today.

Beatriz Haddad Maia wins a couple of points at the net to get to 15-30 on Sonay Kartal's serve, before the Briton sends a forehand wide.
Two points to restore that double break... but Kartal saves them both in style.
Break point number three quickly follows, however, the Brazilian's forehand drifts wide.

Haddad Maia is trying to urge herself on but her legs won't move, this is a chance for Kartal.
Sonay is moving fine now. If she can just play to 70% of her movement she can win this match.
Do you believe in miracles, Sonay Kartal? Because there might be one in action here.
Haddad Maia 6-3 1-6 4-1 Kartal*
Well, well, well...
Sonay Kartal is hardly full of energy but suddenly looks the more sprightly of the two players.
Beatriz Haddad Maia seized up completely after the first point of that game and is almost playing walking tennis for the rest of it.

Unbelievable! The Brazilian is now pointing to her leg. What is going on here?!
You've never seen scenes like this in the first round of a Grand Slam. It's now hampered player against hampered player.
*Haddad Maia 6-3 1-6 4-0 Kartal
Goodness me - now Beatriz Haddad Maia pulls up as she chases a ball to the net. Both players are really toiling out there on Court 12 and both are struggling to make more than a couple of steps into the ball.
Not sure I've seen anything like this before.
*Haddad Maia 6-3 1-6 4-0 Kartal

Haddad Maia has just got to play a simple strategy now, just play open court and be relentless with that, keep making Sonay move as much as possible.
Sonay is not driving on her serve. I'm surprised she hasn't called for her trainer yet.
