Jannik Sinner<\/a> extended his winning run on hard courts to 25 matches Thursday with a ruthless dismissal of Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/a> in the Cincinnati Open quarterfinals.<\/p>\n Playing in his first tournament since winning his fourth grand slam title at Wimbledon, Sinner, the top-ranked player in the world and the defending champion, powered to a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n Auger-Aliassime had won both his previous matches against Sinner but offered little resistance Thursday, with Sinner beginning and ending the contest with runs of six games in a row.<\/p>\n Sinner has not been beaten on his favorite surface since a loss to Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in Beijing in early October last year.<\/p>\n In other men’s quarterfinals matches, seventh-seeded Holger Rune<\/a> was eliminated by Terence Atmane<\/a> 6-2, 6-3. No. 5 Ben Shelton<\/a> cruised to a 6-4, 6-4 victory over No. 22 Jiri Lehecka<\/a> in a fourth-round match.<\/p>\n In the women’s fourth round, second seed Coco Gauff<\/a> topped Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti<\/a> 6-2, 6-4 and will next face seventh seed Jasmine Paolini<\/a>, who eased to a 6-1, 6-2 victory over former Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova<\/a>.<\/p>\n Press Association contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 15, 2025, 12:12 AM ET Jannik Sinner extended his winning run on hard courts to 25 matches…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-84623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84623","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=84623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
