Sinner Reaches Madrid Last 16, Overtakes Nadal With 24th Straight Masters Win

The world No. 1’s surge now points to a real chance of sweeping the season’s first four Masters 1000 events.

Overview

  • The world No. 1 beat Denmark’s Elmer Møller 6-2, 6-3 to make the Madrid Open Round of 16 and extend his Masters 1000 win streak to 24.
  • The new mark moves him past Rafael Nadal’s best run at this level, with only Roger Federer at 29 and Novak Djokovic at 31 still ahead.
  • Sinner hit 16 winners, won 67% of his service points, and dropped serve once in a cleaner outing than his opening match.
  • He said Madrid’s altitude and drying clay made the court feel slick, so he is leaning on quick first swings and steadier footwork.
  • Asked about comparisons to the Big Three, Sinner said he will not measure himself against them and is focused on giving his best each match.
