Top seed Jannik Sinner cruised into the French Open semi-finals with a ruthless straight-set victory over Alexander Bublik, bringing the Kazakh's remarkable run in Paris to an end.

The Italian was in imperious form and is still yet to drop a set at Roland Garros as he won 6-1 7-5 6-0.

Sinner, 23, is hunting a first major title on the Paris clay having previously only gone as far as the semi-finals.

World number 62 Bublik has enjoyed something of a career rejuvenation at the French major but shook his head and smiled ruefully as he was unable to find the answers and Sinner picked apart his unconventional style.

"We have faced each other a few times so I know him quite well but with him [Bublik] you never know what's happening," said Sinner.

"He deserves to be in the quarter-finals, he beat very tough players. I tried to stay focused on my side and play as solidly as possible because he can have ups and downs so I tried to stay consistent.

Victory extends Sinner's winning run at the majors to 19 matches after his triumphs at last year's US Open and the Australian Open in January.

Sinner will meet either sixth seed Novak Djokovic or German third seed Alexander Zverev in the last four.

They face each other at 19:15 BST on Wednesday, after Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti booked their places in the other semi-final on Tuesday.
