Jannik Sinner continued his incredible streak at ATP Masters 1000 tournaments with another triumph in Madrid.

Sinner clinched the Madrid Open title after dominating Alexander Zverev in the final, beating the German in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2.

The Italian became the first player in history to secure five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 crowns, and is now one away from completing the Career Golden Masters.

“It has been a very, very long tournament, starting from Indian Wells. Obviously very happy, but now it’s also good to recover.

“Especially also mentally, we did a lot. There is always a lot of pressure, so, yeah, let’s see.”

Jannik Sinner could make history by winning the Italian Open

Only one man in history has won every single ATP Masters 1000 title: Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic completed the Career Golden Masters back in 2018 at the Cincinnati Open, and beat Roger Federer in the final to achieve the feat.

Several players came close to completing the set, including Federer, Andre Agassi and Andy Murray, all of whom were two titles away.

Not only will Sinner become the second man to do the Career Golden Masters, but he will also be the youngest at 24.
