Jannik Sinner defeats Canadian Auger Aliassime, world number 6, in straight sets and reaches the semifinals of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 .

After yesterday's suffering, that "drop in energy" that made him suffer against Machac, today everything was easy for the Italian, who only needed to place a break in each set to bend the Canadian's resistance and thus defeat him for the fifth consecutive time: it ends 6-3, 6-4, in just over an hour and a half .

In the first set, Jannik gave up his serve and broke his opponent in the sixth game. In the second set , Auger Aliassime was the first to have break point, but Sinner erased it with a perfect first serve and broke his opponent in the seventh game .

The world number 2 will face number 3 Alexander Zverev, Germany's Alexander Zverev, in the semifinals. Zverev defeated rising Brazilian Joao Fonseca in a hard-fought third set. Sinner leads 8-4 in their previous meetings and has won the last seven, all since 2024.

In the event of a final against Carlos Alcaraz, the match will also be worth the number 1 in the ATP ranking .
