Three more hours could have passed, or they could have started over, or they could have even played the best of seven sets. It doesn't matter: in all scenarios, the same player would have won, Jannik Sinner. It's the dictatorship of the world number one, the reigning champion of the US Open, a man who doesn't ease off the accelerator even when facing his compatriots. It was good old Lorenzo Musetti's turn to suffer tonight, unable to see the ball throughout the first set. A slight improvement in the second act made us think that the script could change, but it was just a mirage. Destiny was written for the best Italian tennis player of all time, as we can now begin to call him.

“I feel that in the first set I was a bit rushed; it wasn't easy for me to find the right feelings with the ball, at least initially. I had never played in the night session of the tournament until now, so that's why everything was a bit different compared to the previous matches I had been playing, all of them during the day,” defended the player from Carrara minutes later in the press conference, with that bittersweet taste that defeat always leaves you, momentarily forgetting that this edition has seen him go further than ever before in New York.

“Of course, I think Jannik is on another level, he has been on many occasions. In the second set, I got closer; I had to do, it was my best set of the match, the set where I served better and had more opportunities. I even had a break point that I didn't take advantage of. With a rival like him, you have to seize the few opportunities he gives you, but this time I couldn't do it,” explained perfectly the current world No. 10, who left Arthur Ashe with only seven games in his luggage. Judging by what was seen in previous rounds, he can be satisfied, as Sinner doesn't usually give much more.

TWO NEW PLAYERS

Despite coming from the same country and knowing each other all their lives –Jannik is only a year older than Lorenzo–, fate had it that these two men had not faced each other on the court for more than two seasons. Specifically, since the clay court tour of 2023, where Sinner defeated Musetti in the Monte Carlo quarterfinals. Many things have happened since then, especially the rise in the level of the racket of the one from San Candido.

“Many things have changed since the last time we faced each other in a tennis match. We have both grown, although of course he has become… honestly, I had never faced someone who rushed me so much in the exchanges, there was just no way to have opportunities because he was always there leading the point,” confessed Lolo in front of the accredited press.

Fortunately, he quickly turned the tables and, before lowering the microphone, left us with a message of optimism and motivation for the future. “I am quite impressed by Jannik's performance; I think he served very well and pushed me to the limit every time, he is better than me, and today he proved it. Still, I am happy to have played against him to understand a bit all those things in which I need to improve, so I hope to have a new challenge soon,” concluded the Italian.
