Italy's Sinner and Musetti Make History at US Open with Big Wins and Prize Money
Jannik Sinner delivered a dominant performance at the US Open, defeating Bublik in just 1 hour and 21 minutes with a 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 victory, securing a place in the quarterfinals and setting a record as the fastest match in his career in a best-of-five sets format. This victory marks his 25th consecutive Grand Slam win on hard court and places him among the top five players with the most consecutive Slam wins, behind legends like Federer, Djokovic, and Lendl. Sinner's strategic play, especially his ability to read Bublik's responses, led to a one-sided match where the Kazakh, despite his season-best performance, struggled with service errors and couldn't sustain rallies against the Italian's precision. Meanwhile, in a historic milestone, both Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti advanced to the US Open quarterfinals, marking the first time in Slam history that two Italian men reached this stage simultaneously. The Sinner-Musetti derby is valued at $600,000 and represents a step toward the tournament's richest prize ever. Off the court, Sinner also gained media attention through interviews with fashion icon Anna Wintour and actor Rami Malek, highlighting his rising profile beyond tennis. The tournament continues to draw attention with other cultural and sporting events across Italy, including art exhibitions, markets, and festivals, reflecting the vibrant Italian cultural scene.
