Jannik Sinner, the world No., delivered a commanding performance in the French Open fourth round, defeating Andrey Rublev 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 during the highly anticipated night session at Roland-Garros. Sinner’s relentless precision and power overwhelmed Rublev, who struggled to keep pace despite a fresh start after a third-round walkover.
Sinner, aiming for his third consecutive Grand Slam title after recent triumphs at the US Open and Australian Open, has now reached at least the quarterfinals in every major since the 2023 US Open. He breezed through the first week of the tournament, dropping few games and demonstrating why he’s the top seed this year.
Rublev, ranked No., entered the match with hopes of disrupting Sinner’s rhythm but found himself outmaneuvered by the Italian’s consistency and tactical variety. Although Rublev managed to challenge Sinner in the final set, the Italian’s control never wavered, closing out the match in just two hours.
With this victory, Sinner advances to face Alexander Bublik in the quarterfinals, while Rublev exits after another tough Grand Slam battle. The French Open schedule now intensifies as Sinner continues his quest for a maiden Roland-Garros crown.
