Cincinnati Open: Jannik Sinner thrashes Felix Auger-Aliassime to reach semi-finals

Advertisements

World number one Jannik Sinner crushed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-0 6-2 to cruise into the Cincinnati Open semi-finals.

Auger-Aliassime had won both their previous encounters in 2022, and Sinner appeared to take exception to this as he quickly went about rectifying his record against the Canadian.

The Italian, who has won four Grand Slams since the pair last met in a match at this tournament three years ago, bageled Auger-Aliassime as he took the first set in just 27 minutes.

A stunned Auger-Aliassime served back-to-back double faults to concede an opening set in which he only managed to win nine points.

The world number 28 finally got on the scoreboard when a Sinner double fault – after which the 23-year-old was seen briefly walking in gingerly fashion – handed him the first game of the second set.

Auger-Aliassime followed that by holding serve for the first time to go 2-0 up, but that was as good as it got for the 25-year-old.
