Jannik Sinner Dominates Rublev to Reach Roland Garros Quarterfinals Italian Star Nears
World No. 1 Ranking with Strong Performance
by Ari Stendwelder 3 June 2025
Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner has secured a commanding victory over Russia’s Andrey Rublev at Roland Garros, winning in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5 in the tie-break). The match, which lasted two hours and thirty-one minutes, saw Sinner advance decisively into the quarterfinals of the prestigious Grand Slam tournament. This achievement marks Sinner’s most successful run at the French Open since his quarterfinal appearance in 2020, underscoring his consistent improvement on the clay courts of Paris. His impressive performance in this match further solidifies his position in the global rankings, placing him in a strong contention for the world No. 1 spot. The possibility of him ascending to the top of men’s tennis now hinges on the performance of current world No. 1, Novak Djokovic, who is scheduled to face Lorenzo Musetti in his own evening match; should Djokovic not reach the final, Sinner would automatically become the new world No. 1. Throughout the encounter, Sinner demonstrated exceptional form, maintaining sharp focus and tactical superiority that allowed him to control the flow of play against a formidable opponent. Despite Rublev’s undeniable strength and effort, Sinner consistently found ways to gain an advantage in crucial moments, ultimately proving to be the more effective player on the day.
