• He will face the winner of Alexander Bublik vs. Tommy Paul in the next round.
• After dropping the opening set, Sinner steadied, thanked a supportive crowd, and emphasized the rising intensity of second‑week play.
• Lorenzo Musetti also advanced after Flavio Cobolli retired with wrist and hand pain, a decision Cobolli attributed to discomfort and fatigue.
• Tutto Sport reports this is Sinner’s fifth straight US Open appearance in the last 16, a statistic not yet corroborated elsewhere.
