Sinner Routs Musetti to Reach US Open Semifinals vs. Auger-Aliassime

The defending champion extends a 26-match hard-court major streak, completing a season with semifinal runs at all four Grand Slams.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat Lorenzo Musetti 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in two hours, saving all seven break points and winning 91% of his first‑serve points.
  • The No. 1 seed will face No. 25 Felix Auger-Aliassime next; Auger-Aliassime leads their head-to-head 2-1, though Sinner won 6-0, 6-2 in Cincinnati last month.
  • Sinner’s win marks his 26th consecutive victory at hard-court majors and secures semifinal appearances at all four Slams this season as world No. 1.
  • The other men’s semifinal features Carlos Alcaraz against Novak Djokovic, setting a potential final against one of the sport’s biggest rivals.
  • Tournament security stopped a courtside attempt to unzip Sinner’s bag after a prior match; Sinner said he checked for his phone and wallet and praised security, as media also noted Drake’s public $300,000 bet on him and the associated ‘Drake Curse’ chatter.
