In just over an hour, tennis sensation Jannik Sinner decimated Madrid champ Casper Ruud on center court at the Foro Italico, winning a decisive 6-0, 6-1, propelling himself into the Rome semifinals.
"That was damn near perfection, I've got to give it to him," Ruud told reporters.
"Every hit from his racket felt like it was going a hundred miles an hour, every single shot, on the forearm, from the backhand, and even on my shots that I feel are pretty heavy, it was like he was just firing them back."
Ruud earned the loudest cheer of the night when he held his serve to secure his lone game, and he even admitted to enjoying Sinner's dominating performance.
"Honestly, it wasn't that bad. You just look at the guy and think 'wow, this is some next-level shit.' I don't know what else to say, it was nearly fun to witness."
"I was there ready to play, but he was just even more ready," Ruud added.
Sinner's next opponent will be Tommy Paul, who triumphed over Hubert Hurkacz in the day's first match with a score of 7-6 (7/4), 6-3. The World No. 1 may potentially face rival Carlos Alcaraz in a highly anticipated final, but Sinner remains undeterred about his chances on Friday.
"There's not much to say, I'm experiencing pure joy, but things can change in a heartbeat," said Sinner.
"Tomorrow we have another player. I played against him at the US Open, and it was a brutal match. Here's to seeing what I can do tomorrow."
Born on August 16, 2001, in San Candido, Italy, Sinner turned professional in 2018 and has since been ranked as the world number one, a position he first attained on June 10, 2024[3]. Known for his exceptional backhand and dominating playing style, Sinner has accumulated several titles, including three Grand Slam championships[1][2].
