"Night matches, they're a bit different because there's a bit more attention, I feel. It's a different vibe, also, around the court. It's very loud. It's also different to play. It was the first time for me this year. It was nice. You have the good and the bad if you play in the evening. It's very special, and you feel very privileged to step onto court in the night on the biggest court we have."
"A mere 81 minutes after the clash began, Sinner was back in the locker room after gaining revenge for a shock defeat by Bublik on June 20, in the Halle Open final his only loss to a player not named Carlos Alcaraz this year. We know each other well. We've had some tough battles this year, so we know each other a bit better,"
Jannik Sinner, world No 1 and defending champion, defeated Alexander Bublik 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 to reach the US Open quarterfinals. The night-session match on Arthur Ashe Stadium lasted 81 minutes and marked Sinner's Labour Day debut under the lights. The victory avenged a shock loss to Bublik on June 20 at the Halle Open and extended Sinner's hard-court major winning streak to 25 matches. Sinner raced to double-break leads, building a 4-0 advantage in one set and closing the opener with a deep backhand winner. Bublik's drop-shot strategy failed to unsettle Sinner or his serve.
