Felix Auger-Aliassime def. Alex de Minaur, 4-6, 7-6(7), 7-5, 7-6(4)

Felix Auger-Aliassime rallied previous eighth seed Alex de Minaur 4-6, 7-6(7), 7-5, 7-6(4) to succeed in the US Open semi-finals on Wednesday, his second Flushing Meadows final-four run.

The twenty fifth seed saved a second-set tiebreak set level and received 13/17 tiebreak factors in a four-hour, 10-minute battle to make his second Grand Slam semi-final and first since 2021.

This was a nervy match from each gamers, with De Minaur at all times struggling to take his sport to the following stage on the latter phases of Slams and Felix additionally wanting fairly tight.

Whereas I’m glad it didn’t because it was laborious tennis to observe, I’m undecided how this didn’t go 5 as ADM was forward in nearly each set, had a set level within the second set tie break, and had a 5-2 lead within the fourth however wasn’t in a position to capitalise, and he’s now 0-6 in Grand Slam quarterfinals.

Felix has had a reasonably good event with some good wins, and he fought properly immediately, however I don’t see how he could be a issue within the semi-final.

Primarily based on his stage immediately, I give him 6 video games, and if he can match Shapovalov’s efforts in opposition to Sinner, that might be spectacular.

Highlights

Jannik Sinner def. Lorenzo Musetti, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2

Jannik Sinner dominated tenth seed Lorenzo Musetti 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 to maintain his title defence wanting extra seemingly by the day.

The World No. 1 received 91% of first-serve factors (42/46), saved 7 of seven break factors and and broke 5 instances in a two-hour rout.

I believed Musetti was extra aggressive than the scoreline suggests, however he by no means fairly grabbed momentum, and on the large factors, Sinner simply saved him pinned deep behind the baseline, the place it’s an uphill battle.

Nonetheless to make the quarter finals on his worst floor after a piss poor run submit Roland Garros is an honest efficiency.

Sinner is TennisGPT, and it’ll take a inventive genius to make him malfunction right here and there; solely Alcaraz is actually able to doing that.
