Sinner Advances to US Open Quarterfinals, Reclaiming Victory Over Bublik
NEW YORK – Jannik Sinner, the world’s top-ranked men’s tennis player, emphatically secured his place in the US Open quarterfinals, defeating Alexander bublik 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 in one hour and twenty-one minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The decisive win avenges a prior loss to the Kazakhstani player in the second round of the Halle Grass Tournament in June.
This quarterfinal appearance carries important weight for Sinner, not onyl in his pursuit of a Grand Slam title but also in maintaining his world No. 1 ranking. He will need to outperform his rival, Carlos Alcaraz, who qualified on Sunday, to solidify his position at the top. The victory also marks Sinner’s 25th consecutive win in major tournaments played on hard courts, a streak unbroken since the 2023 US Open.
Sinner dominated the match from the outset,breaking Bublik’s serve three times while losing his own service only once across the three previous rounds. He now faces a quarterfinal matchup against Lorenzo Musetti, who also qualified earlier in the day.
The Italian’s advancement is historic for his nation, as Italy has never before had two men’s singles players reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament in the same season. Sinner joins compatriot Musetti in the final eight, writing a new chapter in Italian tennis history. Lorenzo Sonego contributed to Sinner’s journey to the quarterfinals at the Open.
