Losses have been rare for Jannik Sinner<\/a> in recent years. That is why when the Italian does fall short, it grabs plenty of people’s attention.<\/p>\n

Jakub Mensik<\/a>, last year’s Miami champion, upset the No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings 7-6(3), 2-6, 6-3 Thursday in the Qatar ExxonMobil Open<\/a> quarter-finals. This was straight off the back of a semi-final defeat to Novak Djokovic<\/a> at the Australian Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It had been a year and a half since Sinner lost before the final at two consecutive tournaments. It last happened in 2024 at Wimbledon<\/a> and at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Montreal (both quarter-finals).<\/p>\n

Sinner is now 138-14 since the start of the 2024 season, according to the Infosys ATP Win\/Loss Index, giving him an astonishing 90.8 winning percentage during that period. For context, Novak Djokovic<\/a> owns the best tour-level winning percentage on record at 83.3 per cent.<\/p>\n

Since Sinner lost in the Montreal quarter-finals in 2024, he has played 19 tournaments and made the final in 15 of them, lifting 10 trophies. His five championship-match defeats came against Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So while Sinner has now lost in consecutive events before the final, that speaks to his consistency in recent years. Mensik will play Arthur Fils<\/a> Friday for a place in the Doha final.<\/p>\n
