Jannik Sinner Sets New Record with 32nd Consecutive ATP Masters 1000 Win

Sinner Breaks Djokovic's Record at Italian Open

Rome [Italy], May 14: Jannik Sinner, currently ranked as the world's top player, has made a significant mark in tennis history by defeating Andrey Rublev with a score of 6-2, 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Italian Open. This victory marks his 32nd consecutive win at the ATP Masters 1000 level, setting a new record.

The ATP's official website reports that this triumph in Rome allows Sinner to surpass Novak Djokovic's previous record of 31 consecutive Masters 1000 victories, which had remained unchallenged since 2011.

Djokovic's impressive streak occurred during a dominant period of his career, spanning from Indian Wells to Cincinnati. However, Sinner has now eclipsed that achievement with a remarkable unbeaten run that has lasted seven months.

His journey at the Masters 1000 level began last November at the Rolex Paris Masters, where he defeated Zizou Bergs in the second round and ultimately claimed the title.

Since then, the 24-year-old has secured victories at prestigious tournaments in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, and Madrid, making him the first player in ATP history to win five consecutive Masters 1000 titles.

In his match against Rublev, Sinner displayed his characteristic precision and composure, dominating the first set in just 33 minutes with two breaks of serve while facing minimal challenges on his own serve.

Although Rublev tried to elevate his game in the second set, Sinner handled the pressure expertly, ultimately clinching the match with a crucial late break.

Statistics from this remarkable streak highlight Sinner's dominance; he has only dropped two sets throughout the 32 matches. Notably, he won 37 consecutive sets between the tournaments in Paris and Miami, showcasing his exceptional performance across various surfaces.

The title in Rome holds additional importance for Sinner. If he wins the final on Sunday, he will join Djokovic as the only player to achieve the Career Golden Masters by winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 events.

Furthermore, he would end a 50-year drought for Italian men's singles champions in Rome, the last being Adriano Panatta in 1976.
