Jannik Sinner may have appeared drained in the final set of his Italian Open quarterfinal, but he is certainly not tired of winning. His performance against Andrey Rublev wasn’t flawless. The home hero still managed to close out the one hour and 32 minutes-long contest in straight sets, with a 6-2, 6-4 score.
With the win, Sinner created a new record as the first man to win 32 straight Masters 1000 matches, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s previously set record of 31 wins.
This isn’t all, though. The Italian is chasing more history at the tournament. By winning the trophy, he would extend own record of consecutive Masters 1000 titles won by a man, going from 5 to 6. Sinner would also subsequently become the youngest man to complete the Masters 1000 set, joining Novak Djokovic.
Jannik Sinner Discloses His Physical Condition After Italian Open Concerns
Having won all four completed ATP Masters 1000 events this season (Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo, and Madrid), Sinner is presently on a 27-match winning streak at the Italian Open. He’s booked his place in the final four with straight-set wins against Sebastian Ofner, Alexei Popyrin, Andrea Pellegrino, and Andrey Rublev.
On May 14, Rublev became the first player to break the 24-year-old’s serve. His effort proved to be too little too late, though. While Sinner’s two-break advantage was reduced to one in the second set, he quickly regrouped to close out the match.
Notably, the Italian appeared bothered by an apparent discomfort in his left leg but he dismissed any concerns during his post-match press conference.
“I’m going to be all right. It’s normal that one day in the tournament you are slightly tired,” Sinner assured.
I saw some discussions about Jannik’s left leg and he did feel it after a point, but it was real quick and after that he won a rally point. So I think it was just a bit of cramps. Jannik also said in the on court interview that he just needs to recover physically for the next… pic.twitter.com/DuH64keb4O
