Bublik, who chalked up his career best result at the French Open, credited the Italian for his all-around game. He also felt satisfied after a solid run in Paris.

"It’s not easy. He’s playing fast. He’s playing smart. He’s basically playing every match under two hours, so physically he’s very at a top level, so it’s not easy, as you can see. It’s not only me who got bageled. I wish him all the luck. He deserves to be where he is. We are all going to wait for the final we all wanted," Alexander Bublik said.

“That’s a very positive week, but every fairytale comes to an end," he concluded.

Sinner has bagged three of his last five opponents at the French Open so far. He looked forward to the semifinals and wished to prepare well against the Serb.

“I’m just happy to be in the semis and see what I can do. Last year I played a good match in the semis, so I’m proud to be again here. I wouldn’t have thought to be here in this position since my comeback, so I’m very happy to take things like they are, and hopefully I’m ready. I just want to watch my side of the net, and then we see,” Jannik Sinner said.

The head-to-head between Sinner and Djokovic is locked at 4-4. However, Sinner has won three out of their last four meetings on tour. The duo will face each other on clay for the second time on Friday. Djokovic won their previous encounter at the 2021 Monte-Carlo Masters.
