ATP Montreal, Jannik Sinner to the quarters in fluency. Arnaldi also passes
Jannik Sinner beats Alejandro Tabilo, Matteo Arnaldi also in quarters
Jannik Sinner's adventure in the ATP tournament in Montreal continues: after the bye that allowed him to skip, as the number 1 seed, the first round, and the success in the second round against Borna Coric, the world ranking leader also overcame in two sets (6-4, 6-3) Chilean Alejandro Tabilo, number 21 in the ATP rankings, qualifying for the quarterfinals.
Tabilo tried to respond blow by blow to Sinner, but the latter è managed to control the game rather easily, speeding up when necessary and managing to close the match without ever suffering a break, in a total time of one hour and twenty-one minutes.
Also remaining in the Canadian tournament draw is Matteo Arnaldi, who saw his opponent today, Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, raise the white flag due to injury with the Italian in front in the third set (4-6, 7-6(5), 3-0 the partials before the Spaniard retired).
Thus, the doors of the quarterfinals open for Sinner and Arnaldi: the South Tyrolean will face Andrey Rublev, current number 5 in the world, who defeated Brandon Nakashima 6-2, 6-2), while for Arnaldi there is the veteran Kei Nishikori, who after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas also overcame, in the round of 16, the Portuguese Nuno Borges, 6-3, 6-4.
