After being taken to a decider against Miomir Kecmanovic in his opening match, Sinner has not dropped a set in his past four matches.<\/p>\n
However, not all of those victories have been straightforward as the scoreline suggests, and the top seed has yet to find his best form at SW19.<\/p>\n
That has yet to prove a major problem for the 24-year-old, who has upped his level when needed to claim the decisive breaks and get himself over the finish line.<\/p>\n
But, with world number 48 Nuno Borges being the highest-ranked opponent he has faced so far, it remains to be seen how he will fare against someone like Djokovic or fourth seed Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n
Against Struff, Sinner endured a slow start and was taken to deuce in three successive service games, while the 6ft 4in German cruised through his.<\/p>\n
But Sinner clung on and remained composed to first break for a 6-5 lead before serving out the opener to take the lead.<\/p>\n
After trading breaks in the second set, Struff had the chance to level the tie when he brought up a set point, but Sinner’s serve saw him out of trouble and he breezed through the tie-break.<\/p>\n
The four-time major winner remained relaxed as he dropped just four points on his serve in the third set and, after striking the decisive blow at 4-3, confidently served out the victory to seal his spot in the final four.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After being taken to a decider against Miomir Kecmanovic in his opening match, Sinner has not dropped a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":748945,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-748944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/748945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
