"NEW YORK -- Jannik Sinner returned to the US Open semifinals by beating No. 10 Lorenzo Musetti 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 on Wednesday night in the first all-Italian matchup in a men's major quarterfinal. The No. 1 seed continued what has been an easy title defense and on Friday will face No. 25 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who beat No. 8 Alex De Minaur 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5, 7-6 (4)."
"Sinner is into his fifth straight Grand Slam semifinal and with a win Friday would reach the finals of all four majors this year. He has won 26 consecutive matches in majors on hard courts. That includes the past two Australian Open titles along with his triumph in New York a year ago. He needed just 2 hours Wednesday -- the first set took only 27 minutes -- fighting off all seven break points he faced."
