Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Bublik in the Miami Open quarterfinal, playing outstanding tennis. The 19-year-old was down by 1 break in both sets, but he has always managed to fight back. Bublik had even the opportunity to serve out the opening set, but he was broken at 15.
Jannik and Sascha already faced off in Dubai a couple of weeks before the match in Miami and Bublik already expressed his amazement for Sinner’s tennis.
In Miami, there was a funny exchange at the net when Bublibk said to Sinner: “You’re like 15 years old, and you’re playing like this?! Good job!”
"You're like 15 years old, and you're playing like this?!"
Fair to say Bublik was impressed with @janniksin today 😉 pic.twitter.com/27cglQ5rQm
