Overview
- Jannik Sinner, who crushed Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-2 on Sunday in about 57 minutes, became the first man to win five Masters 1000 events in a row.
- The Madrid title earned Sinner 1,000 ranking points and €1,007,165, further widening his lead at the top of the ATP rankings.
- By reaching the Madrid final, the 24-year-old became the youngest player to make finals at all nine Masters 1000 tournaments and he now owns eight of those nine titles.
- He next plays the Italian Open in Rome with a chance to complete the Career Golden Masters, a sweep of all nine Masters that only Novak Djokovic has achieved.
- With Carlos Alcaraz sidelined by a wrist injury, Zverev apologized to fans for his off-day and called Sinner “the best player in the world by far,” highlighting the current gap to the field.
