The 24-year-old completes the full set of Masters 1000 titles to reinforce his status as the clear Roland-Garros favorite.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 in Sunday's final in Rome, claiming his 29th career title.
  • The victory made him the youngest player to have won all nine Masters 1000 events and gave him his 10th title at that level.
  • He has now won six Masters 1000 tournaments in a row and extended his match streak at that level to 34.
  • He became the first Italian man to lift the Rome trophy since Adriano Panatta in 1976, who presented the cup on court.
