Sinner has displayed exceptional form, winning 32 consecutive sets at the Masters level. His victory over Zverev marked a significant milestone, making him the first player to reach three or more Masters 1000 finals without dropping a set. Additionally, he has reached 10 hard-court finals in just 26 main draw appearances, trailing only Andre Agassi, who achieved this in 25 matches during the Open Era.

“Today was a very tough encounter,” Sinner remarked post-match. “He played some incredible tennis. I was serving very well in the end, especially in crucial moments. Standing again in the final means a lot to me,” he added. Sinner has now extended his winning streak against Zverev to 11 matches. Despite the loss, Zverev can take pride in his competitive performance, as the match was closer than the final score indicated, with Sinner winning just four more points than Zverev. Sinner secured an early break in the first set, leading 2-1, which he maintained to win the set. The second set was more competitive, with Zverev pushing it to a tie-breaker, but Sinner proved too strong.
