Jannik Sinner defeated Tommy Paul 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5), 6-1 in the fourth round of the US Open and advanced to the quarterfinals. Sinner took almost three hours to hold off Paul in a thrilling match between the two.
“It’s a huge honor to play on this court here. The evening session is always very, very nice. Thanks everyone for the support, it’s amazing,” said Jannik Sinner in a post-match interview. “For sure mentally I didn’t start very well. I was a double break down in the first set. I tried to stay there mentally and for sure this today was one of the keys to win this match. There are some ups and downs obviously in best of five, it’s normal to have. But finding my rhythm in the end of the match hopefully helps for the next match.”
Jannik Sinner will face Daniil Medvedev on Wednesday for a place in the semifinals.
