On Sunday, Sinner annihilated Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-2 to capture his maiden Mutua Madrid Open\u2014and make major ATP Masters 1000 history.<\/p>\n

World No. 1 Sinner made dual history collecting his record fifth consecutive ATP Masters 1000 championship\u2014Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo and Madrid\u2014and becoming the first man to win the first four ATP Masters 1000 titles of a season. Sinner extended his Masters winning streak to 28 matches.<\/p>\n

Grand Slam King Novak Djokovic, owns a record 40 Masters championships, says Sinner\u2019s biggest strength is a lack of weakness.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Sinner is] a very complete player, who has obviously shown this in the last two years and is No. 1 in the world with good reason,\u201d Djokovic told the media in Rome.<\/p>\n

The top-seeded Sinner, a former junior ski champion, is one of the game\u2019s purest ball strikers capable of coming out of the corners and changing defense to offense with a single swing.<\/p>\n

Sinner received a hero\u2019s homecoming welcome as he stepped onto the practice court for his Rome return. Riding a 23-match winning streak into the Eternal City, Sinner is playing for his maiden Rome crown and a place in ATP Masters 1000 history.<\/p>\n

If Sinner wins Rome, he will join Djokovic as the second man to complete the set of winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 crowns.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will do it for sure, maybe this year,\u201d Djokovic said. \u201cIn addition, he is very strong because of how he plays. He is really impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Richard Pagliaro | Friday, May 8, 2026Photo credit: Riyadh Season\/Netflix The son of a chef, Jannik Sinner…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244713,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-574238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=574238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=574238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=574238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=574238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
