Overview
- Sinner beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 in Sunday’s Italian Open final to complete the ‘Golden Masters’—winning all nine Masters 1000 events—and become Rome’s first Italian men’s champion since 1976.
- He has swept the first five Masters of 2026 and carries a 29‑match winning streak, including an unbeaten run on clay this spring.
- Roland Garros, the only major he has not yet won, starts Sunday, and Carlos Alcaraz will miss it with a right wrist injury, which further elevates Sinner’s odds.
- Sinner said he will rest for two to three days, skip grass warmups before defending Wimbledon, and may add the Canadian Open, while calling a full‑year Masters sweep unrealistic.
- He and his team credit strict physical work and steady routines for his surge, and Novak Djokovic publicly congratulated him for joining the sport’s rare ‘Golden Masters’ club.
