  2. 'I'm happy with how I handle situations now'published at 21:48 British Summer Time 2 June

    Sinner 6-1 6-3 6-4 Rublev

    World number one Jannik Sinner on the slight adjustment to his body position at the return of serve: "We actually changed that before coming to this tournament. I felt like sometimes I got out of rhythm so this position gives me a little bit of rhythm when trying to go through the ball, especially on the first serves which come very fast.

    "I've also been trying to change it up a little bit from the back on the second serve, and I've been going close on those. Today, I felt like it was working very well from the back. It is a bit breezy here so it's a very tactical game."

    On having great composure on court: "That's absolutely not true - there is a storm going on inside. Tennis is a very mental game and you try to not show anything to your opponent. When you see your opponent struggling a little, you always try to raise your game.

    "I'm someone who works a lot on the other side so I'm always trying to understand how my opponent is feeling, but at the start of my career the storm was also on the outside for me and not only on the inside. I'm happy with how I handle situations now."

    Sinner 6-1 6-3 6-4 Rublev

    World number one Jannik Sinner speaking on court after sealing his quarter-final spot: "I'm very happy obviously. We both know each other very well now. We have played against each other so many times already, so we both tried to change up our game styles a little bit. I'm so happy because things can go a bad way very quickly, especially in a best of five set match that can go so long.

    "I'm very happy and I'm so proud to finish the match in three sets. The night sessions here in Paris are always very special so thank you so much for coming and for the . It is amazing, thank you."

    Onto the on-court interviews. Jannik Sinner says there's a storm going on inside, even his game looks so graceful.

    Like a swan above the water...

    Andrey Rublev's not hanging about. He gives a quick handshake, applauds the fans and then jogs off the court.

    Sinner 6-1 6-3 6-4 Rublev

    Andrey Rublev hits the very top of the net and the ball flies up into the air and goes on Jannik Sinner's side, but just bounces wide of the sideline.

    That's it, that's the match. Jannik Sinner was sensational, especially in those first two sets.

    How about that! Sinner had no right to stay in this rally and really Rublev should finish it, but the top seed manages to return some slices and then hits a winner running in at the net.

    I feel as though Andrey Rublev believes in himself even less so now than ever before.

    I think before there was a desperation to try to win a Grand Slam and get further, but now I feel he looks a bit resigned to the fact that he isn't going to.

    I think that in itself has calmed him down a little bit because we aren't seeing all the screaming antics from him, like we normally do.

    Rublev's happy now though after hitting a stunning cross-court forehand winner.

    Rublev shrugs his shoulders and waddles to his mark, fuming with himself for hitting a loose forehand long. Deuce.

    "Let's go!" Sinner shows some emotion as Rublev crashes a backhand into the net. 30-30.

    208kmh serve. That's almost 130mph in old money - I think...

    Anyway, the important thing is Sinner couldn't return it and Rublev's up 30-15.

    Jannik Sinner's not giving anything away. The pressure gets to Rublev as he plays a sloppy forehand at 30-15 and then a strong serve from Sinner helps the Italian to a hold.

    A very big service game is coming up next for Rublev.

    Well played Andrey Rublev! That's got the crowd going.

    There were a couple of forehands where he wasn't quite getting hold of the ball because he was under such immense pressure from Jannik Sinner, but he eventually got on top of that point and found the angle on his forehand.

    Rublev was right up against it but this crowd are getting right behind him.
