Sinner beats Bublik to secure semi-final place

Top seed Jannik Sinner cruised into the French Open semi-finals with a ruthless straight-set victory over Alexander Bublik, bringing the Kazakh's remarkable run in Paris to an end.

The Italian was in imperious form and is still yet to drop a set at Roland Garros as he won 6-1 7-5 6-0.

Sinner is hunting a first major title on the Paris clay having previously only gone as far as the last four, losing a five-set thriller to Carlos Alcaraz last year.

World number 62 Bublik has enjoyed something of a career rejuvenation at the French major, but shook his head and smiled ruefully as he was unable to find any answers to Sinner picking apart his unconventional style.

Victory extended Sinner's winning run at the majors to 19 matches after triumphs at last year's US Open and the Australian Open in January.

He will meet either sixth seed Novak Djokovic or German third seed Alexander Zverev in the last four.

They face each other at 19:15 BST on Wednesday, after Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti booked a showdown in the other semi-final.
