Sinner Reaches Rome Final, Extends Masters 1000 Streak to 33

A Rome title would complete his sweep of all nine Masters 1000 events.

Overview

  • Sinner beat Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 on Saturday after their rain-hit semi-final resumed, booking a place in the Rome final.
  • Casper Ruud advanced on Friday by routing Luciano Darderi 6-1, 6-1 and will face Sinner for the title.
  • The win pushed his Masters 1000 streak to 33 straight matches, eclipsing Novak Djokovic’s 2011 mark of 31 and building on five straight titles at this level.
  • Rome is the only Masters he has not won, so a victory would make him the second man after Djokovic to capture all nine and the first Italian male champion in Rome since 1976.
  • The stop-start schedule and a heavy spring workload have left him openly fatigued, which he says he must manage with Roland-Garros set as his main goal.
