Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev have qualified for the round of 16 at the US Open. The Italian, 13th in the world, disposed of the American Brandon Nakashima in four sets (3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2) while the Russian, 11th in the ATP ranking, overcame Canadian Denis Shapovalov after a breathtaking thriller (6-4, 2-6, 6-7 (3), 4-6, 7-6 (7)). A victory made possible thanks to his ability to play well in important moments (13/17 break points saved).
The just 21-year-old Transalpin will face for a place in the quarter-finals the surprising Belarusian Ilya Ivashka, 73rd in the world, scorer of Lorenzo Musetti in four sets also (6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3).
Rublev meanwhile will have to recover physically because another big fight awaits him in the next round since the Briton Cameron Norrie, seeded number 7 and impressive against Holger Rune (7-5, 6-4, 6-1), now stands in his way.
