Overview
- Jannik Sinner’s 6-1, 6-2 defeat of Alexander Zverev in Madrid on Sunday lasted 57 minutes and ended on his first match point.
- The world No. 1 became the first man to win five ATP Masters 1000 events in a row, spanning Paris 2025, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, and Madrid.
- The result extended Sinner’s run over Zverev to nine straight wins and pushed their head-to-head to 10–4 in Sinner’s favor.
- Zverev apologized for his display and said there is a “big gap” to Sinner right now, adding he “would have lost to anyone” given how poorly he played.
- Next comes the Rome Masters, the only Masters Sinner has not yet won, before Roland Garros on May 24, as scrutiny grows over whether Zverev can find answers.
