Jannik Sinner required just 81 minutes to crush Alexander Bublik 6-1 6-1 6-1 and return to the US Open quarter-finals.
Bublik was the last player to beat Sinner, recording a victory on grass at Halle shortly before Wimbledon, and the World No1 showed no mercy as he destroyed his opponent in the night session on Arthur Ashe Stadium, allowing just three games.
Sinner has now won 25 matches in a row at the hard-court grand slams and will play fellow Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-finals.
Earlier, Naomi Osaka returned to a grand slam quarter-final for the first time since 2021 as she swept Coco Gauff aside 6-3 6-2 in the meeting of former US Open champions.
The contest only lasted 64 minutes and it was a horror show for Gauff, who made 33 unforced errors and won just six points against Osaka’s serve.
There is an extremely promising sign for Osaka, however, with the 27-year-old having never lost at a grand slam when she has reached the quarter-final stage.
