Alexander Bublik tried everything: inner monologues, Shakespearean gestures, eyes to the heavens, half-whispered laments. But this time… the curtain fell quickly.
Across the net stood no drama partner, but a tennis conductor: Jannik Sinner.
World number one wasted no time in improvisation.
With surgical movement and Viennese symphonic precision, he dispatched the theatrical Kazakh with a 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 that left no room for reinterpretation.
Even Bublik’s full repertoire —everything but pyrotechnics— failed to crack the South Tyrolean’s alpine calm.
Sinner didn’t laugh. Didn’t flinch.
He played like someone who already knew the script… and chose not to applaud the performance.
With this win, Jannik heads into the Roland Garros semifinals, where he’ll face either Djokovic or Zverev (match later tonight).
But beyond the next act, history is already made:
For the first time in the Open Era, two Italians —Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti— reach the semis of the same Slam.
A double feat that confirms Italian tennis is no longer a promise —it’s a lead role.
And as the crowd rises to its feet, some smiling, some tearful, only one thing remains to be said:
The comedy is over. Now history begins.
