Sinner Shows No Mercy Against Bublik in US Open Round of 16
The anticipated duel between Sinner and Bublik was cut short in the US Open round of 16. The world number one delivered a dominant performance against the Kazakh player (6-1, 6-1, 6-1 in 1 hour and 21 minutes), resembling a true steamroller.
Despite a lower first-serve percentage than his opponent, the Italian won 81% of his points behind that shot, while also delivering 8 aces against the world number 24.
Additionally, although Bublik’s serve appeared to be a weapon in this match (he had held serve for 59 consecutive games without being broken), it was completely neutralized by the quality of the defending champion’s returns. Indeed, Sinner was able to create 17 break point opportunities, converting 7 of them, all while winning 57% of his return points.
With this result, the Wimbledon champion surpassed Djokovic as the youngest player to reach all four Grand Slam quarterfinals in singles during two consecutive seasons (since the start of the Open Era).
Having secured his spot in the quarterfinals, he will face his compatriot Musetti, who recently defeated Munar (10th seed).
