Jannik Sinner<\/a> raised concerns about his fitness after a post-match interview at the Italian Open. The world No. 1 made history at his home tournament on Thursday, beating Andrey Rublev<\/a> 6-2 6-4 to claim a record 32nd-consecutive win at Masters 1000 level, breaking the record of 31 matches previously set by Novak Djokovic<\/a> back in 2011.<\/p>\n But it wasn\u2019t smooth sailing for Sinner in the quarter-finals. After leading by a set and a double-break, he was suddenly broken for the first time this week and looked worse for wear. The Italian\u2019s first serve percentage dropped, and he was seen leaning down and grabbing his thigh after one game.<\/p>\n Sinner also looked fatigued during the final changeover before serving for the match at 5-4, but came through with no issues to reach the semi-finals in Rome and win his 32nd straight match at a Masters tournament.<\/p>\n However, it was after he left the court that the fatigue really started to show. Sinner has played a lot of tennis, with his last loss coming in February, and he had to support himself during a post-match interview with Laura Robson on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n After asking the world No. 1 just one question, Robson told him: \u201cYou\u2019re leaning against the wall, it looks like the legs are tired, so I\u2019ll let you go.\u201d Sinner was very grateful, thanking the retired British player and then doubling over, leaning down, and grabbing his own legs to stay up.<\/p>\n Before Robson let him go, the four-time Major champion explained how he\u2019d been able to sustain his level for so long. \u201cI\u2019m trying to do my best. It has been, until now, an incredible tournament again, standing again here in the last four, and trying just to do my best,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner doubled over and grabbed his legs after completing a post-match interview (Image: Sky Sports)<\/p>\n \u201cEvery day is different, every match is different, every opponent is different. We try to prepare in the best possible way tactically, which today worked well. He managed to break in the second set, which complicated, a bit, the things. But in the same time, I was always up with the score, I tried to stay as calm as I could.\u201d<\/p>\n During a flash interview on the court, Sinner also said he needed to prioritise his recovery ahead of Friday\u2019s semi-final, which will see him take on either Daniil Medvedev<\/a> or Martin Landaluce. \u201cI don\u2019t play for records, I play just for my own story. In the same time, it means a lot,\u201d the Italian said of his record 32nd straight Masters win.<\/p>\n \u201cBut tomorrow is another day, another opponent, a different opponent. We\u2019re going to play in different conditions, it\u2019s gonna be a night match, so let\u2019s see. But now, for me, the highest priority is trying to recover as much as I can physically and then we see how it goes.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the same time, also emotionally, it takes a lot, playing here at home. But in the same time, I definitely try to do my best and then we see how it goes. In any way, it is a win-win situation for me, in any case, so it was a good day today.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Jannik](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jannik-Sinner-Italian-Open-6920686.jpg\" "\\"Jannik")
