Top seed Jannik Sinner fought hard to secure a straight-sets victory over American Tommy Paul, winning 7-6(3) 7-6(5) 6-1, and advancing to the U.S. Open quarter-finals on Monday. Sinner, playing at Arthur Ashe Stadium, demonstrated impressive skill, firing 10 aces to become the only man to reach the last eight in all four majors this year.
He now sets his sights on reigning 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev in a highly anticipated rematch of their Australian Open final, which Sinner won in a five-set thriller. 'Tough match. It's going to be a lot of rallies, so hopefully I'll be ready physically,' Sinner commented.
