Paris, France – World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has once again cemented his place among the elite of men’s tennis, powering into his second consecutive French Open semi-final. With a dominant quarter-final victory over Alexander Bublik, the Italian sensation not only continued his pursuit of a maiden Roland Garros title but also emulated a remarkable feat previously achieved by the “King of Clay” himself, Rafael Nadal.
Relentless Pursuit of Glory: Sinner’s Dominant Quarter-Final Win
Sinner’s path to the semi-finals has been nothing short of impressive. In his latest masterclass on Court Philippe-Chatrier, he dispatched the unpredictable Kazakh showman Alexander Bublik in straight sets, 6-1, 7-5, 6-0. The match, lasting just under two hours, showcased Sinner’s clinical precision, relentless baseline pressure, and remarkable composure. He broke Bublik’s serve six times and saved two break points, demonstrating why he is currently the world’s top-ranked player.
Emulating a Clay-Court Legend: Nadal’s 19-Match Grand Slam Streak
This victory extends Sinner’s phenomenal Grand Slam winning streak to 19 consecutive matches. This significant achievement sees the 23-year-old become the youngest man since Rafael Nadal in 2008 to achieve such a consecutive winning run at the majors. This parallel with Nadal, widely considered the greatest clay-court player of all time, highlights the incredible trajectory of Sinner’s career.
A Stellar Grand Slam Season Continues
Sinner’s current form across Grand Slams is truly exceptional. Following his triumphs at the 2024 US Open and the 2025 Australian Open, he has carried that momentum into Roland Garros, looking sharp and virtually unassailable. His unbroken run in majors underscores his consistency and adaptability across different surfaces.
With his place in the last four secured, Jannik Sinner is now set for a highly anticipated semi-final clash. He will face either six-time French Open champion Novak Djokovic or fourth seed Alexander Zverev, who are set to battle it out in their own quarter-final encounter. This will be a true test for Sinner as he aims to reach his first French Open final and add another Grand Slam title to his rapidly growing collection.
