Sinner's US Open Blitz: AI-Powered Tennis or Just Pure Domination?

Jannik Sinner has stormed into the US Open quarter-finals, leaving his opponent Alexander Bublik calling him an 'artificial intelligence' player. The world number one delivered a ruthless performance, securing a 6-1 6-1 6-1 victory in just one hour and 21 minutes – his quickest Grand Slam victory ever.

Sinner's Speed and Precision

Bublik, who had previously beaten Sinner this season, found himself completely outmatched. He even commented 'AI' on the US Open's Instagram post, highlighting his view of Sinner's almost robotic precision and efficiency on the court.

Sinner himself acknowledged their past battles, saying, "We had some tough battles this year, but we know each other's game really well. He had a tough match [in the third round], five sets, finishing late and he didn't serve as well as he usually does. Overall I'm very happy."

Bublik's Struggles

Bublik's struggles were evident. After winning all 55 of his service games prior to this match, he immediately lost serve in the first game due to sloppy groundstrokes and a double fault. He ended up with 13 double faults in total, including some underarm serves, and couldn't find an answer to Sinner's relentless pressure.

Sinner converted eight of his 17 break point opportunities, showcasing his dominance and ability to capitalize on Bublik's errors. His winning streak at hard-court Grand Slam tournaments now stands at an impressive 25 matches.

Next Up: An All-Italian Quarter-Final

Sinner will now face fellow Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-finals, promising an exciting match-up. Can Sinner continue his dominant form and secure another Grand Slam title? The pressure is on!
