New York, Sep 2
World No. 1 and defending US Open champion Jannik Sinner humbled Alexander Bublik to storm into the quarterfinals, setting up a showdown with fellow Italian Lorenzo Musetti.
Sinner completed the 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 triumph in just 81 minutes against his Bublik, who committed 13 double faults—the last one on match point—among 31 unforced errors.
Sinner has now reached at least the quarterfinals at eight consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. The last time he was defeated before that stage was at the 2023 US Open, when he fell in the fourth round to Alexander Zverev.
There will be an all-Italian men’s singles quarter-final at a major for the first time when Sinner takes on 10th seed Musetti. The World No. 1 will carry a 2-0 ATP Head2Head advantage into their showdown.
