Roland Garros: Jannik Sinner overwhelms Bublik and flies to semifinals

A year as number one, and what a way to celebrate it. Jannik Sinner continues to enchant on the red clay of Paris and captured the semifinals of Roland Garros 2025 with a truly dominating performance. Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik is yet another victim of his extraordinary continuity: the final score, 6-1 7-5 6-0, tells of a match at times without history, especially in the first and third sets.
Sinner once again confirmed himself as the most solid tennis player on the circuit. Not only has he never relinquished his Atp ranking throne since he ascended to the top of the world rankings exactly a year ago, today, on the very anniversary of that milestone, he celebrated with his nineteenth consecutive victory in Grand Slam tournaments.
The match immediately went downhill for the Italian. After an immediate break in the second game of the first set, Jannik dominated with authority, leaving the crumbs to a nervous and inaccurate Bublik. Only in the second set did the Kazakh manage to find more continuity, thanks to an’excellent percentage of first balls (over 70%). But at 5-5 Sinner tightened his game, accelerated his strokes and closed out the partial set, extinguishing any hopes of his opponent.
The third set was a monologue: Bublik disappeared from the court, while Sinner pushed on the accelerator, inflicting a dry 6-0 that propels him for the second consecutive time into the semifinals in Paris. Awaiting him will be one between Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev, in a match that promises spectacle and tension.
On the other side of the scoreboard, meanwhile, a possible all-star final against Carlos Alcaraz looms, who will face Lorenzo Musetti. But in the meantime, Jannik Sinner continues on his regal path, aiming to enter Italian and world tennis history for good.
