Jannik Sinner Reaches French Open Semis, Joins Historic Italian Milestone

Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1, advanced to the French Open semi-finals for the second consecutive year by defeating Alexander Bublik decisively in straight sets, 6-1, 7-5, 6-0. Sinner has remained undefeated at this tournament, not dropping a set and continuing a remarkable streak of 19 consecutive Grand Slam match wins, a feat last achieved by Rafael Nadal in 2008. His next opponent will be either Novak Djokovic or Alexander Zverev, with Sinner acknowledging the challenge of both players and emphasizing his focus on consistent play. This tournament marks a historic moment, as alongside Lorenzo Musetti reaching the semi-finals, it is the first time in 65 years that two Italian men have reached the French Open semi-finals in the Open Era. Sinner credited his strong performance to mental focus and solid execution under varying conditions, including wind and shifting court environments. The Italian’s dominant form and recent return from a doping ban highlight his resilience and growing stature in the sport.
