Sinner had equalled that mark with his second-round win on Saturday in Miami before surpassing it in the third round.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am very happy,&#8221; Sinner said following his victory. &#8220;This sport is unpredictable, so we try to keep attention as much as we can and we&#8217;ll see what is coming in the next round.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Most Consecutive Sets Won At ATP Masters 1000 Level* (since the series began in 1990) <\/p>\n<p> *Walkover loss ends the streak <\/p>\n<p>Sinner\u2019s streak traces back to last November at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/tournaments\/paris\/352\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rolex Paris Masters<\/a>, where he clinched the title without dropping a set. He carried that form into March, repeating the feat at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/tournaments\/indian-wells\/404\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BNP Paribas Open<\/a>. Thanks to his two victories in Miami, Sinner has now won 13 consecutive Masters 1000 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Against Moutet, there were few signs that the 24-year-old&#8217;s streak was in danger. Sinner controlled the tempo of the clash with a dominant serve, winning 87 per cent (33\/38) of his first-serve points, according to Infosys ATP Stats. He also swung freely off both wings, firing 23 winners compared to Moutet&#8217;s 11 and gave the Frenchman no chance to find rhythm in the match.<\/p>\n<p>With his one-hour, 11-minute victory, Sinner improved to 2-0 in the pair\u2019s Lexus ATP Head2Head series and extended his unbeaten streak against left-handed players to 21 matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s Ben [Shelton], Tien, Shapovalov, Moutet,&#8221; Sinner said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to forget other players, but we try to prepare in the best way possible, trying to be tactical and as perfect as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/news\/atp-number-one-club\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768144283_348_atp-no-1-club-banner-article.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cATP\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings will now face <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/players\/alex-michelsen\/m0qi\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Michelsen<\/a> in the fourth round on Tuesday, continuing his bid to become the first man to complete the \u2018Sunshine Double\u2019 since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/players\/roger-federer\/f324\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Roger Federer<\/a> achieved the feat in 2017.
