World No. 1 Jannik Sinner matched Novak Djokovic’s ATP Masters 1000 winning streak record by securing his 31st consecutive victory at this level. Sinner advanced to the Italian Open quarter-finals after defeating Andrea Pellegrino in straight sets, delighting the Campo Centrale crowd in Rome.
Sinner, the top seed, has been on an impressive winning streak over the past six months, clinching titles in various prestigious tournaments. He is now on the verge of breaking Djokovic’s record if he triumphs in the upcoming quarter-final match.
The 24-year-old is not only eyeing the record but is also aiming to achieve the Career Golden Masters, a feat previously accomplished only by Djokovic. Despite a strong performance from Pellegrino, Sinner’s dominance prevailed as he sealed the match in one hour and 28 minutes.
Sinner’s remarkable run includes victories in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, and Madrid, making him the first player to win five consecutive Masters 1000 titles. He continues to impress against Italian opponents, maintaining an unbeaten record of 19-0 against compatriots on the tour.
