Watch Casper Ruud, as if he were just another spectator, a perfect machine that only knows how to attack and attack balls named Jannik Sinner. The number one delivered, without a doubt, the best tennis of the season and possibly one of the best matches of his short but promising career. The circuit had been missing that whirlwind of gameplay, that devastating forehand, and that imposing rhythm. The Italian crushed the Norwegian 6-0 and 6-1 in just an hour and three minutes and sends a serious warning to his rivals: the best Sinner is back, and it only took him four matches to achieve it.

Jannik Sinner came out like a bullet at the Foro Italico in Rome. All the Italian 'tifosi' who had been cheering for him throughout the week were surprised to see such a dominant start from the world number one. He broke Ruud's serve to love after exchanges where the Italian was a rock. He looked fresher, sharper, and more focused than in the rest of the matches. Aware that the tournament was entering its final stages and that he needed to step up his game to reach the podium again. Something he has done in eight of the last nine tournaments he has played.

Absolute and imposing dominance

The reigning champion of Madrid couldn't make sense of what was happening, either due to Sinner's blazing start or the lack of response he found in his own game. There were many questions, but the only certainty was that within 15 minutes of the match, the number one already led 4-0, with two breaks in his favor having lost only two points.

It was the best Sinner since his return, flawless, no 'buts'; with the intensity and rhythm characteristic of his game and with a forehand on which he imparted an infernal effect. Faced with this tennis whirlwind, Ruud had no choice but to weather the storm. In the meantime, all he could do was watch the overwhelming level of the number one, with an unstoppable forehand that seemed to spit fire every time it left his racket. It wasn't far-fetched to say that this set was one of the best the Italian had played in his entire career. 6-0 in 31 minutes, losing only seven points and hitting eight winners.

The question arose as to whether the second set would be a replica of the first or if Ruud would show some kind of resistance. Because one thing was clear, Sinner would not lower his level and would continue tormenting the poor Norwegian. Although Ruud improved his game somewhat, it wasn't enough for the Italian to be stopped; he broke for the fourth time and took control of the second set and the match.

Even the Italian fans applauded Ruud's successes, hoping for some battle, some fight, because the games passed by while they only witnessed a cyclone named Sinner. The champion of Madrid sighed, shook his head, and gasped for air, feeling completely overwhelmed by the 23-year-old.

Ruud could only secure one game

Everything worked for the Italian, no shot was missed, no ball left unchallenged; he was a fully oiled machine. Hence, when Ruud won his first game of the match, he raised his hands, laughed, and celebrated the brief relief that Sinner had given him.

He managed to win one game, not much more. The brief respite ended, and the Italian resumed dominating the Nordic player. The number one didn't ease off the gas pedal, enjoying his game more and more, while Ruud just waited for the match to end and to forget this unpleasant memory as soon as possible.

In this tyrannical fashion, Sinner showed no mercy to Oslo's representative, who laid down his weapons (6-0, 6-1). The prevailing feeling at the 'Campo Centrale' in Rome was not only joy but also astonishment after witnessing a true ode to the most aggressive and dominating tennis of recent times. But the number one won't rest and already has his sights set on his next semifinal opponent. Heaven help Tommy Paul.
