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 achieve 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 gained 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 all the time struggling to take his sport to the following degree on the latter phases of Slams and Felix additionally trying fairly tight.

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

Felix has had a reasonably good match with some good wins, and he fought effectively immediately, however I don’t see how he generally is a issue within the semi-final.

Primarily based on his degree immediately, I give him 6 video games, and if he can match Shapovalov’s efforts towards Sinner, that may 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 trying extra doubtless by the day.

The World No. 1 gained 91% of first-serve factors (42/46), saved 7 of seven break factors and and broke 5 occasions 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 massive factors, Sinner simply stored 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 publish Roland Garros is a good efficiency.

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