The Italian has not dropped serve since his opening round match against Arthur Rinderknech.<\/p>\n<p>After his latest dominant win, Sinner said: \u201cWell, we played already a couple of times before, so we know a little but what to expect. But you know the way with him, you never know what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like he deserves to be in the quarter-finals, he beat very, very tough players. So I just tried to stay focused from my side of the court and just tried to play as solid as possible because he can have some slightly ups and downs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I just tried to stay consistent throughout the match, I\u2019m trying to serve very well in important moments, which I\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo yeah, it was a good performance from my side because it\u2019s also a bit windy and breezy, so things can be very complicated. Today, I warmed up with the roof closed because it was raining, then the sun came out, so a lot of different challenges on court, but I\u2019m very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe work a lot on having a good balance with my body, but against these kind of players, you have to be very consistent because if you make a lot of mistakes, it\u2019s already a game where if we both serve very well, there are not so many rallies, so I tried to get rhythm with the rallies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut again, very happy with how I arrived to the semis, semi-finals in Grand Slams are very special. So I\u2019m looking forward to it and let\u2019s see what\u2019s coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he changes his racket tension to adjust to conditions, Sinner explained: \u201cWe always have some discussions with my team, I never really change the tension because I feel like I have a good feel with it so I don\u2019t want to mess around as much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are players, they change always, every day, but again, it shows that everyone is different. I just try to give the best I can, 100%, staying there with the right attitude, the mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>French Open News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/jannik-sinner-biggest-strength-ball-striking-carlos-alcaraz\"><strong>Jannik Sinner is already the \u2018best player of all-time\u2019 in one key area<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/jannik-sinner-locks-in-wimbledon-top-seed-carlos-alcarazs-wait-no-1-return\"><strong>Jannik Sinner locks in Wimbledon top seed status as Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s wait for No 1 return continues<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sinner has now won 19 consecutive Grand Slam matches \u2014 a streak that, as well as his five Roland Garros wins, features his title runs at the 2025 Australian Open and the 2024 US Open.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old is the youngest man to win that many successive matches at majors since Rafael Nadal in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Nadal triumphed at the French Open and Wimbledon in 2008 before his Grand Slam streak ended with a US Open semi-final defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner is also the third youngest male player to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open and the French Open in back-to-back years after Jim Courier and Mats Wilander.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian star will face either Alexander Zverev or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Novak Djokovic<\/a> in what promises to be a blockbuster semi-final clash.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he will watch the quarter-final between Zverev and Djokovic, the three-time Grand Slam champion said: \u201cI think we will all a little bit watch, for sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut in the other way, I also try to switch off my head because on Grand Slams, you are there always mentally and two weeks are very long events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just try to go for dinner, trying to relax, trying to recover.
