Sinner has been struggling with a right hip injury, and the 22-year-old has been massaging the area frequently, which could be a concern for him as the US Open begins in two weeks.
“It was a really good fight. Jannik is an incredible player and he has been unbelievable for two years. I was just hoping to fight him,” the 26-year-old said.
Friday’s match was canceled due to rain and both players played their last 16 matches earlier that day. Sinner beat Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo 6-4 6-3 and Rublev defeated American qualifier Brandon Nakashima 6-2 6-2.
