Jannik Sinner 6-1 2-2 Lorenzo Musetti*

Musetti won just five points through the first five games of the first set, and nine in total.

But there are signs the second set is going to be more competitive. Sinner even has to save break point and does so as Musetti slices long on the return.

Sinner closes the door with an ace.

BREAK! *Jannik Sinner 4-0 Lorenzo Musetti

Big, big trouble for Musetti, who has been able to crack a few forehands at Sinner but is seeing everything being returned with interest so far.

A forehand is powered down low at Musetti’s backhand and it seals the second break.

Jannik Sinner reveals what Alexander Bublik said to him after ruthless US Open thrashing

Alexander Bublik could not believe what he saw from Jannik Sinner after the defending US Open champion marched into the quarter-finals with a 6-1 6-1 6-1 win against him in just 82 minutes.

Bublik was the last player to beat Sinner, and the only player other than Carlos Alcaraz to win against him this season, when he did so on grass at Halle shortly before Wimbledon in June.

Bublik was left celebrating as he won a game in the third set. The 28-year-old almost fell into Sinner’s arms at the net and had the World No 1 laughing along when he said to him: “That was so good. I’m not so bad, but you’re the GOAT”.
