World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has completed a new feat to reach the French Open semifinals.
According to Tennis365, Italian tennis professional dismantled Alexander Bublik to claim a straight-set 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 win in the French Open quarter-finals during an hour and 49 minutes fight at Philippe-Chatrier.
The 23-year-old, after winning the match, praised Bublik, saying, “I feel like he deserves to be in the quarter-finals, he beat very, very tough players. So I just tried to stay focused from my side of the court and just tried to play as solid as possible because he can have some slight ups and downs.”
“So yeah, it was a good performance from my side because it’s also a bit windy and breezy, so things can be very complicated. Today, I warmed up with the roof closed because it was raining, then the sun came out, so a lot of different challenges on court, but I’m very happy,” he added.
Sinner matches Rafael Nadal's record
After the latest win, the three-time Grand Slam champion has extended his Grand Slam matches winning streak to 19 games and became the youngest player in Grand Slam history to maintain this long streak since Rafael Nadal in 2008.
The Spanish tennis legend who is also known as the King of Clay because of his 14 French Open titles won 19 matches between Roland Garros 2008 and US Open quarter-finals the same year.
