Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev Set for US Open Quarterfinal Clash
New York [US], September 3: The world number one Jannik Sinner has advanced to the quarterfinals of the US Open after defeating local favorite Tommy Paul. Sinner won the match 7-6(3), 7-6(5), 6-1, showcasing his powerful baseline play and stunning shotmaking.
With this victory, Sinner has achieved the rare feat of reaching the quarterfinals in all four Grand Slam events in a single season. He joins the elite group of players like Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer, Stan Wawrinka, and Andre Agassi.
After the match, Sinner expressed his gratitude, saying, “It is a huge honor to play on this court here. The evening session is always very, very nice. Thanks everyone for the support, it is amazing. I thought that we both did not play our best tennis. It was a little breezy, a little windy, so we tried to find our rhythm a little bit. I found it a little bit at the end of the match, but I can be very proud. Today was a tough opponent, so I am very happy to be in the next round.”
Sinner will face Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals. Medvedev, the fifth seed and 2021 US Open champion, defeated Nuno Borges 6-0, 6-1, 6-3 in a one hour, 51 minute match. Medvedev has been dominant on hard courts, with 268 wins since 2018, more than any other player.
In another match, Alex de Minaur secured his third successive quarterfinal in a major competition by defeating fellow Australian Jordan Thompson. De Minaur won 6-0, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, and has now surpassed Novak Djokovic in the ATP Live Race to Turin. He will face Jack Draper, who reached his first major quarterfinal by defeating Tomas Machac.
