Jannik Sinner has made history by becoming the first player to win five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles. He achieved this feat on May 3, 2026, at the Madrid Open in Spain, defeating Alexander Zverev with a score of 6-1, 6-2.
Sinner’s victory marks a significant milestone in tennis. He is now the first player ever to win five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles. This includes his wins at the Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo, and now Madrid. He has not lost a set during his last three hard-court events leading up to this tournament.
Sinner’s current form is impressive. He has won 23 consecutive matches and holds 14,350 ranking points, far surpassing Zverev’s 5,805 points. At just 24 years old, he has won eight of the nine active Masters 1000 titles.
Background shows that Sinner surpassed the achievements of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Djokovic won four consecutive events on three occasions, while Nadal triumphed in four straight tournaments in 2013. Sinner is also aiming to break Djokovic’s record of winning six Masters 1000 titles in a single season.
Sinner’s success comes with additional potential achievements. If he wins at the Rome Masters next week, he can complete the Career Golden Masters—an accomplishment that only one player has achieved before him.
His match against Zverev took only 58 minutes, showcasing his dominance on the court. After the match, Sinner reflected on his journey: “I think there is a lot of work behind it. A lot of dedication and sacrifice I put in every day. Obviously, it means a lot to me, seeing these results.”
As Sinner prepares for the Rome Masters, he continues to build on his legacy in tennis. His next challenge will be crucial as he seeks to extend his record and potentially achieve further milestones.
