Sinner knocks out Musetti and moves into the last four
Jannik Sinner has powered his way back into the US Open semi-finals, dismembering compatriot Lorenzo Musetti in a commanding straight-sets win on Wednesday night.
The world No. 1 and reigning champion in New York, excelled Musetti 6- 1, 6- 4, 6- 2 in what was the first Italian men’s quarter-final at a Grand Slam.

Earlier in the tournament, he showed similar dominance when he crushed Alexander Bublik in straight sets, a match many fans saw as a warning sign to the rest of the field.
“Jannik Sinner takes his U.S. Open title defense into the semifinals by beating Musetti,” the tournament headline read, summing up the night where Italy’s golden hope proved once again why he sits atop the sport.
The 23-year-old continues to make light work of his opphttps://www.uknewsblog.co.uk/us-open-2025-jannik-sinner-crushes-bublik-in-style/?utm_source=chatgpt.comonents. He demanded just two hours under the Arthur Ashe lights, refusing to surrender a single break despite facing seven break points.
The opening set lasted only 27 twinkles, setting the tone for another ruthless display. With this palm, the wrongdoer extends his band to 26 successive palms on hard courts at major events.
That run includes back-to-back Australian Open titles and last year’s US Open crown. He’s now one step down from reaching the final of all four majors in 2024, a stunning feat of thickness.
Awaiting him on Friday is Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime, seeded 25th, who battled Alex de Minaur in four tight sets 4- 6, 7- 6( 7), 7- 5, 7- 6( 4).
Their clash promises fireworks, with Auger-Aliassime eyeing a career-defining advance and wrongdoer intent on continuing his dominant march. For Musetti, the night ended in disappointment.
The No. 10 seed was chasing his first US Open semi-final, having formerly impressed at Roland Garros and Wimbledon this time. But against Sinner, he simply couldn’t find a way through.
Musetti did show flashes of brilliance, yet the occasion, the opponent, and the sheer weight of Sinner’s horsepower proved too important.
Sinner’s run in New York is building towards something historic. He has dropped just 38 games across five matches, the second-lowest total for a men’s semi-finalist at the US Open since 2020. The numbers highlight what the eyes already see: a champion in complete control.
The Italian superstar is writing a new chapter, one composed of dominance, discipline, and sheer hunger. Fans in Flushing Meadows know they may be witnessing the shaping of a dynasty.
And with two more wins, Jannik Sinner could cement his status as the undisputed king of hard courts.
