PARIS (AP) — Top-ranked Jannik Sinner's latest
dominant performance at the French Open was a 6-1, 6-3, 6-4
victory over No. 17 Andrey Rublev on Monday night to reach the
quarterfinals and extend his Grand Slam winning streak to 18
matches.
Sinner is a three-time major champion who won the U.S. Open last
September and the Australian Open this January. Now he'll try to
get to the semifinals at Roland-Garros for the second
consecutive year and faces 62nd-ranked Alexander Bublik on
Wednesday.
Here is just how good Sinner has been in Paris over the past
week-plus: He hasn't lost a set and has dropped a total of 30
games.
Sinner actually began somewhat slowly against Rublev under the
lights at Court Philippe-Chatrier. Well, for four points,
anyway. Rublev got two break points at 15-40 in the opening
game, but Sinner erased those and was on his way.
He only faced one other break point the rest of the match and
saved it, too.
Sinner finished the first set with 10 winners to just three
unforced errors and kept the pressure on Rublev.
