Defending champion Jannik Sinner continued his ruthless run at the U.S. Open by beating 10th seed Lorenzo Musetti 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 on Wednesday in the first all-Italian men's Grand Slam quarterfinal.

The world No. 1, who also won the Australian Open earlier this year, extended his hard-court winning streak to 26 matches and will take on Canadian 25th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime next.

"It was a good performance, I was very solid, I started well ... it's nearly midnight, so thank you all for staying," Sinner told the crowd.
