Shapovalov started the match strongly, leading 4-1 in the first set and dropping just one point in his opening three service games. However, Sinner's resilience shone through as he fought back, winning the next five games to take the set.
The second set saw a more even contest, with Sinner demonstrating his ability to compete against top-tier players. He won the set 6-4, setting the stage for a thrilling decider.
The third set began with Shapovalov taking an early lead, winning the first three games. But Sinner's determination was unwavering. He saved a break point in the fourth game and went on to win nine consecutive games, turning the match around and securing his place in the next round.
This victory is significant for Sinner, who has now reached the round of 16 at all four grand slams consecutively. He is also the first man born since the start of 1990 to achieve this feat in consecutive seasons.
