After Musetti, in fact, Sinner also arrives among the best eight of the US Open by dominating the Kazakh Bublik 6-1 6-1 6-1, who is the only opponent to have beaten him in the season (it happened in the second round of Halle in June) together with Alcaraz: the sweetest of revenge, as well as the consecutive success n.25 in the Slam on the concrete. Now it is the fifth ever with McEnroe and behind Federer (40), Djokovic (27 and 26) and Lendl (26).

The match

–

Bublik, n.24 in the world, to the best season in his career, in these US Open he had not yet lost his service (12 break balls canceled overall): in the match against number 1, he loses the first two games in which he beats him, the first with a double foul. The consequence of an incontrovertible technical factor: the response of Jannik, who reads all the trajectories of the rival and always starts the exchange: in this way the Kazakh finds himself immediately entangled in the spider web of the strongest player in the world, of which he cannot support the background power. Or, try to force the second, with the result of committing 4 double fouls in the first part, the last in the seventh game when on a second test to surprise Sinner with the notorious service from below, which ends up halfway through the general hilarity, that of Bublik included. On the other hand, when at the service there is the n.1 of the world, it is not played: just a point granted with the first, despite the percentages that always oscillate around 50%, and two with the second, on which the Kazako can never be aggressive. The canvas repeats itself without variations in the other two sets, in practice a sports massacre: every game at the Bublik service is a suffering, if the first does not enter it practically never exchanges and in the few bottom dribbeds it cannot support the rhythm, and not even the short ball (against Paul he had scored 28) can help him against an opponent who always has his feet on the basic line, while Jannik with the automatic pilot with the It is a perfect machine in the beaten. And when he finally gets a game in the third set after a hailstorm that had already cost him the 4-0, Alexander raises his arms to heaven by calling the applause of the public. The only playful moments, for him: the hour and 21 minutes in which the practice was resolved is the fastest match in his career three sets out of five by Jannik.
