June 04, (THEWILL) – Jannik Sinner continued his dominant run at Roland Garros with a commanding 6-1 7-5 6-0 victory over Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik in Wednesday’s quarter-final.
The world number one needed just one hour and 49 minutes to dispatch his unseeded opponent on Court Philippe Chatrier, maintaining his perfect record of not dropping a single set throughout the tournament.
The Italian’s clinical performance extends his remarkable efficiency at this year’s French Open, having spent fewer than 10 hours on court across his first five matches.
Bublik, ranked 62nd in the world, struggled to find any meaningful opportunities against the top seed’s relentless baseline game.
The Kazakhstani player managed to stay competitive through much of the second set but never forced a break point, failing to apply genuine pressure on Sinner’s serve.
A crucial double fault whilst serving at 30-40 in the 11th game handed Sinner the decisive break, effectively ending Bublik’s resistance.
The third set became a formality rather than a contest, with Sinner breaking Bublik’s serve immediately before racing through the remaining games.
The Italian closed out the match with a cross-court forehand winner, sealing his second consecutive Roland Garros semi-final appearance.
This victory improves Sinner’s head-to-head record against Bublik to 4-1, with his only previous defeat coming via retirement due to injury at Halle in 2023.
Sinner now awaits the winner of the quarter-final between 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic and third seed Alexander Zverev for Friday’s semi-final clash.
The Italian’s path to a potential first French Open title appears increasingly promising, given his current form and the systematic manner in which he has dismantled every opponent.
