NEW YORK (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) – Jannik Sinner beats the american Tommy Paul with the score of 7-6 7-6 6-1 and arrives at the US Open quarterfinalsthe last Slam of the season, where he will face Daniil Medvedev. At the end of the challenge, the home tennis player analyses the defeat against the world number one and comments: “I don’t think he played very well at the beginning of the match and then when I was up 4-1 I don’t think I played well. I had some chances in the first set obviously and also in the second, but he improved in the most important points and I wasn’t able to take advantage of the opportunities. I felt that was the story of the match.” For Paul it is a defeat that leaves good feelings: “These are the best players in the world. He’s number one now and it’s always a big test to see what level you’re at. I don’t think I played very well. I know he probably didn’t play his best tennis today, but the differences were really small. For me it’s a motivation. Obviously we still have two Americans in the tournament, so I think one of us can make it sooner or later.”.

Paul was a burnt Sinner
The American was nevertheless impressed by the tennis played by the Italian: “I think the last time I played him was when he was starting to grow, or maybe he had already done it, but he won his first Masters 1000 that week, beating me in the semi-finals. He played super fast tennis. Today he held on to his serve in the important points. He does what all the best players in the world do. He is unreal, he hits the ball with great quality every time the ball touches his racket. That makes him different. Compared to Alcaraz, I don’t know. I think Carlos wants to come in more and play all over the court, but Sinner is the best hitter on the tour.”.
