World No. 1 Jannik Sinner secured his spot in the Madrid Open final by defeating Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-4. Sinner’s victory sets up a final showdown against Alexander Zverev, who triumphed over Alexander Blockx 6-2, 7-5 in the semifinals. Sinner showcased his dominance by hitting 17 winners and maintaining control throughout the match.
In his post-match remarks, Sinner expressed satisfaction with his aggressive play and comfort on the court. Despite Fils’ improved serving in the second set, Sinner remained focused on delivering a strong performance. Zverev, on the other hand, cruised through the first set against Blockx and clinched the victory by breaking his opponent in the 11th game of the second set.
The women’s final on Saturday will feature ninth seed Mirra Andreeva from Russia against Ukraine’s 26th seeded Marta Kostyuk. Notably, Jannik Sinner has now become the youngest player to reach the final of all nine ATP Masters 1000 events, achieving this milestone at just 24 years old during the 2026 Madrid Open. His remarkable feat places him among tennis greats like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer.
