No. 1 Jannik Sinner to Face Lorenzo Musetti in All‑Italian US Open Quarterfinal

Analysts overwhelmingly favor the top seed after a blistering first week in New York.

Overview

  • The meeting will be the first all‑Italian men’s singles quarterfinal at a Grand Slam, with the result still pending.
  • Sinner crushed Alexander Bublik 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 in 81 minutes and has dropped only one set in the tournament.
  • Musetti, seeded 10th, has been largely untroubled, losing only his opening set and routing Jaume Munar 6-3, 6-0, 6-1 in the fourth round.
  • Sinner leads the head-to-head 2-0, though they have not played since 2023, and the matchup pits his pace and precision against Musetti’s one‑handed backhand and variety.
  • Most published predictions pick Sinner in straight sets, reflecting his status as the title favorite with major threats positioned on the other half of the draw.
