NEW YORK, USA – Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti will face off in a historic all-Italian quarterfinal at the US Open 2025. This match marks the first time two Italian players will meet in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament in the Open Era. The match is scheduled for September 3 at Arthur Ashe Stadium, starting at 1 a.m. Italian time.

Both players have shown exceptional form leading up to this moment.
