Jannik Sinner brought a business-like demeanour to court early on Tuesday to the Mutua Madrid Open. The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings kick-started Day 7 at the ATP Master 1000 event with a largely commanding fourth-round triumph against Cameron Norrie.
Sinner and Norrie stepped onto Manolo Santana Stadium shortly after 11 a.m. local time in the Spanish capital and the Italian needed 87 minutes to prevail 6-2, 7-5 in the pair’s maiden Lexus ATP Head2Head clash. With his triumph, the 24-year-old earned his 20th consecutive tour-level win, while he is now on a 25-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level.

“Quite unusual for me,” Sinner said. “I don’t know the last time I played at 11, but for me it doesn’t matter what time. I try to do my best… We try to adapt ourselves, our bodies and our minds. From my side, it was a good performance today.”
Sinner will now prepare for a quarter-final clash against fast-rising #NextGenATP home star Rafael Jodar or Vit Kopriva. Having triumphed in Paris last November and in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte-Carlo this year, he is bidding to become the first player to win five consecutive Masters 1000 crowns.
