Jannik Sinner was clutch when he needed it, getting past American Tommy Paul to advance to the US Open quarterfinals 7-6, 7-6, 6-1 on Monday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The world No. 1 from Italy, who came back from two breaks down in the opening set, extends his match win streak to eight and has equaled his best result at the US Open, having reached the quarterfinals in 2022.
The 27-year-old American fired up the New York crowd when he managed to break Sinner 13 minutes into the match, and in a stretch of winning 11 points in a row, he took a 4-1 lead in the first set. But the 2024 Australian Open champion fought back from the two breaks down – quickly winning 12 of the next 14 points and the next four games in a row, before pulling away from Paul in the first-set tiebreak. The second set, meanwhile, was tighter, with Paul saving the lone break point.
