The Times of India at Roland Garros: Jannik Sinner is quick - ly becoming the French Open’s blink-and-you-will-miss-it sto - ry. The World No.1 reels off 25-minute sets with the zeal of a motorist beating morning traffic to get to work.
The Italian ended the run of the entertaining Kazakh Alexander Bublik 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 in one-hour and 49 minutes to make the semifinals at Roland Garros.
Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Sinner has won his past 19 matches at majors, having emerged victorious at the US Open and the Australian Open. The top-seed on a 17-1 run this season joined compatriot Lor - enzo Musetti in the last four.
It is the first time in the Open Era that two Italian men have reached the semifinals of the same Grand Slam.
“We played a couple times already, so you know a little bit what to expect,” Sinner said of Bublik. “But in another way, with him, you never know what is happening. He deserved to be in the quarterfinals, he beat very tough opponents. I tried to stay focused from my side of the court and play as solid as possible as he can have some ups and downs. I am trying to serve very well in important moments, which I have done.”
Sinner has spent less than 10 hours on court through his first five matches as he has taken apart his opponents for the loss of very few games.
