"Do not forget that he came out of a very difficult five-set match," Sinner's reaction after his US Open victory

Swift against Bublik (6-1, 6-1, 6-1 in 1h21), Sinner once again reached the quarterfinals at the US Open. While he displayed an impressive level of play, his opponent, on the other hand, was really not having a good day. Questioned by the press after his victory, the world number one stated:

"I can only control things on my side, try to do my best, but there are always days when things don't work out. Many players have issues off the court, you never know. In the end, what we try to do is make the sport as interesting as possible.

Today I felt I played excellent tennis, I managed to break his serve very early, which then gave me the confidence needed to serve better and be much more solid from the baseline. It was a quick match, but yes, obviously people come here to watch great tennis matches, great battles, but it's not always like that.

Do not forget that he came out of a very difficult five-set match, which ended very late against Tommy (Paul), who is a different kind of player. These things can happen, that's sports. Some days are good and others less so.

Maybe today was that day when things don't work out for you, which is why you lose easily. You never know what can happen, sports are very unpredictable."

In the next round, he will face his compatriot Musetti (10th).
