Jannik Sinner is going to make it very easy to predict tennis results in the next ten years. Certainly, if he is in the tournaments, do not doubt that his name will appear in the final rounds, as right now, 99% of the players in the locker room are unable to compete with him when he is in front of them. The duel this early morning against Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2025 is a good example, that way of reducing an opponent to the minimum expression, to the point of making us forget that the World No. 10 is on the other side of the net. But the law of the jungle says that only one can remain here, and that, usually, tends to be the number one.

The performance of the San Candido tennis player was, as in all these past days, difficult to classify. The feeling is that new adjectives are beginning to be lacking to explain how a boy his age, with the pressure of defending the title and playing for the throne of the circuit, can go out there every night and pay homage to tennis. That's what Jannik Sinner has been doing in New York these past two weeks, giving master classes at a speed where opponents come out dizzy from the experience. We don't know what strategy Auger-Aliassime might be working on, but what we can already tell you are the words of the champion in his latest press conference.

Semifinal Poker in Grand Slams

"The main tournaments of this season are the Grand Slams, so I am very happy, of course. These four tournaments are very special stops. Being back in the semifinals of a Grand Slam is a great achievement, so I am very satisfied with my work. We always try to prepare ourselves in the best possible way to get to this position. I love delving into a tournament and trying to raise the level. I have felt very good in these last two years in Grand Slam territory. I really enjoy playing best of five sets. I know my body a little better, so I am very happy and pleased to be in the semifinals again."

Musetti's level

"He is a very talented player, it is difficult to play against him. It is true that he did not serve well in the first set, that's why I was always able to return his service well. Today, I was able to close it in three sets, but things were starting to get complicated. Lorenzo has the quality of being a very annoying player, he can always change his game, he can hit hard but also knows how to step back, has an excellent slice. It is no coincidence that we see him in the top 10 of the world ranking. Today, I entered the match without thinking it was a derby, but thinking that I was facing the World No. 10."

Next match with Auger-Aliassime

"It will be a completely different match than the last one we had, starting because the conditions in this tournament are different. He has had some great wins these weeks, so he surely comes with a great boost of confidence to face me. We'll see what happens, I feel that anything can happen. From my point of view, I always try to look at myself, right now I am very happy to see myself back in the semifinals of a tournament like this. I feel that Félix has improved a lot, even in a week I have seen him make great adjustments, so I expect it to be a great match, very tough for both of us. It will be different, this is a Grand Slam, the energy and everything else is different. It's going to be very interesting to watch."

Incident with a fan who tried to steal from him

"The truth is that I have never experienced anything strange with the fans before. At that moment, what I did was immediately check if he had taken anything. In the end, I not only carry rackets in the bag, there are many more things. For example, my phone or wallet, I don't know. On my part, I feel that security always does a great job, especially inside the court, where there is much more security. In these types of tournaments, they do an incredible job to make players feel safe, even in new situations like this one that happened to me, they do a great job."
