Sinner Dominates Rublev and Advances to the Quarterfinals at Roland Garros
Jannik Sinner has just secured his 18th consecutive Grand Slam victory, matching the streaks of Andre Agassi, Mats Wilander, and Boris Becker.
In his Round of 16 match tonight at Roland Garros, the world No. 1 calmly defeated Andrey Rublev in straight sets (6-1, 6-3, 6-4) in exactly two hours of play. Never troubled during the match, Sinner secured his spot in the tournament's quarterfinals, where the talented but unpredictable Alexander Bublik awaits.
He will attempt to reach the semifinals for the second consecutive year, following last year's defeat to Carlos Alcaraz.
