"It's just amazing" - Sinner on maiden Wimbledon quarterfinal

The Italian produced a high-quality all-round performance to secure a 6-1, 6-4, 6-7(8), 6-3 fourth-round win against Carlos Alcaraz at the grass-court major.

Despite Alcaraz finding some rhythm to save two match points and clinch the third-set tie-break, it was not enough to hold off an accomplished display from Sinner, who had not won a tour-level match on grass prior to his first-round win over Stan Wawrinka.

He said:

“Carlos is a very tough opponent and a very nice person, so it is always a huge pleasure for me to play against him. Today with such a great crowd and a special day today, 100 years [of Centre Court]. It’s just amazing.”

Sinner further added:

”It’s tough when you have match point, and you still have to play [on]. I tried my best, it is just part of the game, part of tennis, and obviously I am very happy how I reacted, because in the first [game] I was struggling. I am very happy to be in the next round and hopefully I can play some good tennis [then too].”
