"It's time for revenge," said Jannik Sinner himself a few hours before stepping onto Arthur Ashe to face Alexander Bublik, who defeated him a few months ago in Halle. With that thirst for vengeance, the world number one didn't give the Kazakh any chances, completely nullifying him to win 6-1, 6-1, and 6-1 in 1 hour and 23 minutes of play. His next opponent will be Lorenzo Musetti.
Unforced errors from an erratic Alexander marked the beginning of a duel where something unprecedented was seen in this New York Grand Slam: the Kazakh suffering a break on his serve. The Italian's pressure crossed the net onto the timid racket of a Bublik, who seemed discouraged facing a Sinner who didn't let anything slip by.
Not even the underhand serves worked for a completely lost Alexander, prone to making drop shots that were easily reachable, in a way giving in to the high level of the world number one, attentive to every ball, every serve, and every attempt at a drop shot, responding with unreachable winners for his opponent.
Sinner doesn't give up a single point
Double faults didn't help Bublik, who went from laughter to tears, showing much more frustration with countless errors and few successful hits. Dominating with both his forehand and backhand, Sinner continued to control the game from side to side of the court.
Not even at the net could Alexander catch a breather, as he kept making faces either to enjoy himself with the audience, because Jannik didn't ease off the gas pedal. Although it seemed impossible, the Kazakh had a break point, but Sinner slammed the door shut with a big serve before confirming his victory with a double fault from Bublik.
