Amanda Anisimova sets up Iga Swiatek rematch in US Open quarter-finals

What a one-sided day of tennis we’ve seen on the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

After Jannik Sinner dropped just three games against Alexander Bublik, Amanda Anisimova drops just three of her own in defeating Beatriz Haddad-Maia.

A very impressive performance and it sets up a quarter-final with Iga Swiatek, which is an immediate rematch of their Wimbledon final.

Swiatek, of course, won that match 6-0 6-0. It can’t go any worse for Anisimova but it will be very different on Arthur Ashe.

Jannik Sinner reveals what Alexander Bublik said to him at the net

“We know each other very well. We had some tough battles. Especially this year. He just said congrats and wished me all the best. He had a very tough match in the last match. Today he didn’t serve as well as he usually serves. I broke him very early in every set which gave me the confidence to serve a bit better. I’m very very happy.”

GAME, SET AND MATCH! Jannik Sinner 6-1 6-1 6-1 Alexander Bublik

As if to sum up one of the most one-sided US Open fourth round matches of all time, Alexander Bublik double-faults when facing match point.

Jannik Sinner extends his winning run at the hard-court grand slams to 25 matches, and that must be one of the quickest.

Just 81 minutes required to beat a player who had won 11 matches in a row before tonight, and who had beat him in their last match!
