2025 Roland Garros QF: (1) Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Bublik

[Enceladus]

ATP H2H: 3-1 for Jannik

Bublik is currently experiencing the best GS event of his career, having made it to the QF for the first time after remarkable wins over de Minaur (Bublik turned match from a deficit 0-2 to sets) and Draper. Now he faces the world number one and winner of the last two Grand Slams. How will Bublik handle this challenge?

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner in 3 easy sets.

 

[Drighiz]

I think Bublik will do everything he can to make this fun, but surely we have to expect Sinner to be able to overcome anything he can throw at him.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner probably in 3 sets. If bublik gets hot he might steal a set but wouldn’t bet on it.

 

[Pheasant]

Sinner has been routinely excellent. He’s dropped only 30 games in 4 matches.

Sinner will win 6-4, 6-3, 6-4.

 

[vwanderaa]

Sinner in 3.

 

[Rattie]

Sinner in 3 then….

[ojo rojo]

If he can play anywhere near the level he sustained against Draper for the last 3 sets of the QF, surely he can trouble Sinner too.
One can hope

 

[Spin Diesel]

If Bublik finds some of the level he showed against Draper, I'd assume he can trouble Sinner a bit. I think the italian isn't so comfortable facing more unpredictable tennis and if Bublik can execute, I think he may win a set but probably not much more.

 

[Lauren_Girl']

Does the closed roof favor Sinner or Bublik?

 

[Lauren_Girl']

Sinner has been routinely excellent. He’s dropped only 30 games in 4 matches.

Sinner will win 6-4, 6-3, 6-4.

But Rinderkchoke was up 4-0 and then 5-2 in the 3rd set. Sinner has only met mugs and non clay specialists since then. Rublev has been losing to literally everybody this year, I take this match with a grain of salt.

Not that I think Bublik can trouble him but Zverev/Djokovic/Alcaraz surely can.

 

[Spin Diesel]

Does the closed roof favor Sinner or Bublik?

I think they just opened it.

 

[speedysteve]

Here we go

 

[Kralingen]

I think the first set will tell us everything. Bublik will either show up ready for a fight or he’ll go down tamely and pull a classic Bublik tank job.

 

[speedysteve]

Touch Vs robotic mega hitting - let's see

Even though it a parody account it something I wouldn’t be surprised to hear bublik say! Haha

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Bublik looks like something they pulled out of the woods in the movie Deliverance or legend of boggy creek

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

I think the first set will tell us everything. Bublik will either show up ready for a fight or he’ll go down tamely and pull a classic Bublik tank job.

yeah you could see in the draper match even though he lost the first set, bublik was there competing throughout and he stayed locked in even after dropping the set

 

[tudwell]

Hard to see anything but a straight-sets Sinner beatdown. With Sinner's court positioning and depth, Bublik will have a harder time hitting so many tasty drop shots and Sinner will have an easier time running them down than Draper did. The Sinner return will likely also eat up Bublik's serve, unless he's really, really on. I think very early on in the match Bublik will start pressing and make loads of errors.

Oh, looks like it's already on. Nice.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Couldn’t be more contrasting players. Sinner so business like and bublik is a joker and showman.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Solid start from Sinner. He’s so focused and means business as he looked all event.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

this is the problem with big prize money for just showing up. What incentive is there now truly for these kids? Just showing up to MUG it up means a big enough pay day

 

[Kralingen]

Yep. This first game shows you all there is to know about this match. Sinner in STRAIGHTS.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Bublik already facing game over! lol

 

[NaDjoFed]

Sinner looks like a United Colors
Of Benetton advertisement from the 90s with this outfit

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Jeesh. Just give a poster here with tennis experience a racket and have him go out there and he will do a better job than Booblick is already doing

 

[Deleted member 827468]

bublik broken

 

[NaDjoFed]

Break sinner.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner breaks! What a shot!

 

[Juice4080]

You can see Bublik has the kind of game that could trouble Sinner but it’s just as clear he doesn’t have the execution to actually make it happen.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Bublik, Tiafoe, Paul may be the worst slam QF opponents ever

 

[NaDjoFed]

Unless bublik starts serving well, this is going to be a short match

 

[Pheasant]

Wow. Sinner is bullying Bublik. Bublik can’t handle Sinner’s power.

 

[edberg volleys]

Gsm Carrot!

 

[Jonas78]

Problem with current Big3 (2), is pretty much the same as with the former late Big3. The gap to the rest is too big, we miss the Stans, Murrays & Delpos...

 

[Kralingen]

Bublik, Tiafoe, Paul may be the worst slam QF opponents ever

Incredibly weak era. It’s really sad how poor the level is

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

This era doesn’t even have that. Which makes it far more awful

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner and Alcaraz are both relentless now! Both on a massive collision course!

 

[ojo rojo]

Boobs was too happy with his QF win.
He already lost this match a couple days ago

 

[MichaelNadal]

Bublik just happy to be there

 

[NaDjoFed]

Incredibly weak era. It’s really sad how poor the level is

Hopefully few good players are coming in top 5-10, like Mensik and Fonseca

 

[Drighiz]

Wow very unusual miss from Sinner

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This is a complete mis-match at the back of the court rallies! lol

 

[Legend of Borg]

Sinner and Alcaraz are both relentless now! Both on a massive collision course!

Gioco is approaching fast in Sinner's side mirror. We'll see.

 

[Jonas78]

Yeah there should be players that can make an upset in the later rounds, now Sincaraz are just too far ahead (well actually the others are too far behind)

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Hopefully few good players are coming in top 5-10, like Mensik and Fonseca

Alcaraz and Sinner licking their lips at trying to overtake big 3 records.

 

[tudwell]

They will come. In 05 and 06 there didn't really seem like there would be anyone to challenge the Fedal duopoly, but that quickly changed with Novak's rise in 2007, and then by 2009 you had Murray and Del Potro in the mix as well.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Brilliant start from sinner! I always admire how focused he remains no matter the opponent, conditions or crowd. He’s rolling again here.

 

[SneederFeeder]

I can't wath this match so I'm just checking the results every once in a while and wow, Google uses the absolutely worst picture of Bublik ever

 

[NaDjoFed]

Alcaraz and Sinner licking their lips at trying to overtake big 3 records.

They will volture everything, at least for the next few years
