World No. 1 Jannik Sinner Extends 24-Match Hard-Court Winning Streak at US Open

Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1 and defending US Open champion, displayed a dominant performance against Alexander Bublik in the fourth round, winning 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. Despite some struggles earlier in the tournament, including dropping the opening set and being broken for the first time at the US Open during his match against Denis Shapovalov, Sinner demonstrated resilience and composure to secure a victory and maintain his impressive hard-court winning streak at majors, now at 24 matches. Sinner acknowledged the pressure and tension he experiences as a top player but emphasized the importance of handling it. Bublik, who had a grueling five-set match against Tommy Paul, described Sinner as an "artificial intelligence" player, highlighting his exceptional level of play. Sinner’s recent success includes winning the Australian Open twice (2024, 2025), Wimbledon in 2025, and the US Open in 2024, confirming his status as the dominant force in men's tennis this season. His upcoming challenge will be to sustain this form as he progresses deeper into the tournament.
