The world tennis No 1 beat Bublik in the round of 16, losing just three games and reversing a shock upset to the Kazakh player in June.<\/p>\n

Defending champion Jannik Sinner said he enjoyed the vibe of playing under the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights after he continued his hardcourt Grand Slam run by hammering 23rd seed Alexander Bublik to make the US Open quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

The Italian tennis player came into the match on Labour Day, seeking his 25th straight major match win on his preferred surface, and never looked in danger against a tricky rival, bolting out of the blocks to win 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 on his night session debut this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always special to go on Ashe to play,\u201d Sinner said after the match on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNight matches, they\u2019re a bit different because there\u2019s a bit more attention, I feel. It\u2019s a different vibe, also, around the court. It\u2019s very loud. It\u2019s also different to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the first time for me this year. It was nice. You have the good and the bad if you play in the evening. It\u2019s very special, and you feel very privileged to step onto court in the night on the biggest court we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

A mere 81 minutes after the clash began, Sinner was back in the locker room after gaining revenge for a shock defeat by Bublik on June 20, in the Halle Open final \u2013 his only loss to a player not named Carlos Alcaraz this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know each other well. We\u2019ve had some tough battles this year, so we know each other a bit better,\u201d the top-seeded Sinner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a tough match last time [against Tommy Paul], finishing late. He didn\u2019t serve as well as he does. I broke him in every set, and it gave me the confidence to play well.\u201d<\/p>\n

A double break helped Sinner build a 4-0 lead before Bublik could even get on the board, and the dominant 24-year-old chased down a drop shot to fire home a deep backhand winner that wrapped up the opening set with another break.<\/p>\n

Bublik\u2019s attempts to disrupt Sinner\u2019s rhythm with more drop shots proved futile, but it was his service errors that left him trailing by two sets, before Sinner wheeled away to his eighth straight grand slam quarterfinal.<\/p>\n

Up next is a meeting with compatriot Lorenzo Musetti. Sinner said it would be a great occasion for Italian tennis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see. Italian tennis is in great form. We have so many players and different game styles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLorenzo is one of the biggest talents we have in our sport. I\u2019m looking forward to this one. From an Italian point of view, it\u2019s great to have for sure one Italian player in the semis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that there are a lot of Italian players in the crowd. It makes everything special.\u201d<\/p>\n
