Now just one win away from a fifth consecutive Grand Slam final, Sinner will have to go through Auger-Aliassime<\/a>, who he dominated at the Cincinnati Open in August.<\/p>\n Though the Canadian is capable of delivering an upset, it is unlikely he will find an answer for the four-time major champion, who former American player Sam Querrey<\/a> recently gave high praise to. <\/p>\n Speaking on the \u2018Nothing Major\u2019 podcast, Querrey said: \u201cI think Sinner is the best ball striker of all time.<\/p>\n \u201cEven if he stops right now. I think he is the cleanest, best, purest ball striker that the game of tennis has ever seen.<\/p>\n \u201cI am not just trying to say that. I know Andre was unbelievable, but I give that title to Sinner now.<\/p>\n \u201cIf he shanks it, it\u2019s like off-centre by a millimetre. It\u2019s not off the frame or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n Jack Sock predicts how Felix Auger-Aliassime will fare against Jannik Sinner<\/p>\n Multiple-time doubles Grand Slam winner Jack Sock<\/a> said of Sinner<\/a>\u2018s clash with Musetti: \u201cI was watching that just in awe.<\/p>\n \u201cIt looks like he is hitting the ball as hard as he can on every shot, and it never seems like he is going to miss.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is so in control of what he is doing and it looked like Musetti\u2019s quote last night the whole match, it looked like he was under pressure on every point and every shot. Sinner was dictating play on every point. It was really fun to watch. <\/p>\n \u201cI feel bad for Felix in the next match. I think he is going to get chopped up, honestly.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Felix has less of a chance of winning that than Novak does against Carlos. I almost think that Sinner\u2019s level right this second is higher than Carlos\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite his heavy defeat to Sinner in Cincinnati, Auger-Aliassime currently leads the head-to-head 2-1. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jannik Sinner will hope to continue his US Open title defence against semifinal opponent Felix Auger-Aliassime.
