Jannik Sinner Extends Masters Streak to Six With Rome Title

The surge sharpens the question of how a Masters sweep stacks up against Carlos Alcaraz’s Australian Open.

Overview

  • Sinner beat Casper Ruud in the Rome final to claim a sixth straight Masters 1000 crown.
  • The Rome win was his 10th Masters 1000 trophy, a tier just below the Grand Slams, which places him seventh on the all-time list.
  • He has won 34 consecutive matches at Masters events and has not been beaten at that level in 226 days since retiring in Shanghai.
  • Jessica Pegula said Sinner will “clean up” with titles while Carlos Alcaraz recovers from the wrist injury he suffered in Barcelona.
  • On the Nothing Major podcast, Sam Querrey and Steve Johnson said Alcaraz still has the year’s edge because he won a major, though they added a French Open title for Sinner would flip that view.
