Jannik Sinner continues his own particular stroll through hard courts and the circuit in general. The number one has racked up 25 consecutive victories on this surface, 12 consecutive wins since his defeat in the final of Roland Garros, nine in a row in Cincinnati, and 19 straight sets on the asphalt. Alien-like numbers that not only dominate the statistics but also control the matches like very few others. This was evident with his latest victim, Felix Auger-Aliassime, in the quarterfinals of the ATP Cincinnati, where he gave him no chance and dominated the match at will to seal the victory 6-0, 6-2, in an hour and 11 minutes, advancing to the semifinals of the American tournament, where he aims to defend his title.

After two turbulent days with rain, the day in Cincinnati displayed a serene atmosphere with few clouds but relentless heat. In these conditions, Sinner and Auger-Aliassime stepped onto the court to secure a spot in the semifinals of the American tournament.

Dominance from the start

The world number one entered the match after a tough encounter against Adrian Mannarino, but with the added motivation of defeating the Canadian for the first time, who held a 2-0 lead in their head-to-head record. To break the tie from the previous day and end his negative streak against Aliassime, Sinner came out strong, quickly establishing a 4-0 lead in just 18 minutes.

Serving became the Italian's best weapon, and aware of the strong serving shown by the Canadian during the tournament, he sharpened his returns to leave Aliassime with no reply. Many fans had not even taken their seats when Sinner secured the first set with a bagel (6-0), after 27 minutes of overwhelming dominance, in line with the form displayed by the circuit's king in recent months.

The first set ended with two consecutive double faults by Aliassime, who seemed absent on the central court in Cincinnati. However, a slight drop in performance by Sinner and some physical discomfort allowed the Canadian to get back into the match and break the number one's serve. Wrist and ankle discomfort caused a momentary setback for Sinner and boosted his opponent, who saw an opportunity to keep fighting.

Yet, it was merely a lapse from the Italian, who quickly regained his form, not only recovering the break but also breaking Aliassime's serve again to clinch five consecutive games and move within one step of the semifinals in Cincinnati.

The minor discomfort faded, and the machine named Sinner smoothly finished a match that lasted as long as he desired (6-0, 6-3). Consequently, the runner-up from the previous edition advances to the semifinals, showcasing his prowess just as things start getting serious. Meanwhile, Holger Rune or Terence Atmane will be the next contenders brave enough to challenge the number one on the hard court.
