Zverev defeated! Sinner is in the quarterfinals of the French Open

6:3, 6:3, 4:6, 6:3 - this was the result after 3:01 hours, in which Sinner (ATP No. 75) made his opponent (ATP No. 7) despair several times. The Pusterer once again showed a convincing performance in difficult, windy conditions and made it into the quarter-finals with a courageous style of play.

Sinner was the much more active player right from the start and managed his first break in the fourth game. The South Tyrolean repeatedly pushed Zverev far back behind the baseline and came up with several impressive winners with his powerful forehand. Despite some imperfections that led to Zverev's break opportunities, Sinner always brought his serve home and secured the first set 6:3.

Sinner stayed in control in the second section and immediately took a service game from Zverev to make it 2-1. While the German increasingly struggled with himself and couldn't get into the game at all, Sinner kept the pace high and was wide awake, especially during longer rallies. The 19-year-old showed no weakness in the crucial moments and took the 6-3 set lead with his third break to 2:0.

In the third set, Zverev managed the early break to make it 1-0, but a short time later Sinner brought the game back into balance and made it 3-3. The game now became more open, with the South Tyrolean making more unforced errors than at the beginning of the encounter and was promptly punished: Zverev took the service from Sinner to make it 5:4 and then reduced it to 1:2 after sets. First match point passes – now Nadal waits Anyone who thought that Sinner would give up the game was disappointed. The South Tyrolean showed strong nerves after losing the set and pulled away to 3-0 with a quick break. With varied play, in which Sinner also increasingly incorporated stop balls towards the end of the encounter, he defended his lead and used his first set point to win the match 6:3.

In the quarterfinals, Sinner will now face none other than Rafael Nadal. The tournament favorite from Spain swept past US boy Sebastian Korda 6:1, 6:1, 6:2 on Sunday and is still in Paris without losing a sentence. By the way: In 2005, the twelve-time French Open winner was the last player before Jannik Sinner to reach the round of the last eight on his Roland Garros debut.
