Jannik Sinner had next to no trouble booking his place in a maiden final at the Monte-Carlo Masters.
Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets to reach the championship match, wrapping up the contest in an hour and 22 minutes, 6-1, 6-4.
The Italian has enjoyed a near-flawless campaign in Monte-Carlo so far, dropping just one set en route to the final.
Is the Monte Carlo Masters the best ATP 1000 tournament?
If not, which tournament do you consider to be better?
Aside from a drop in level against Tomas Machac in round three, he has earned convincing wins over Ugo Humbert, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Zverev.
Having put together another lengthy run, Sinner has just joined the ‘big three’ in an exclusive club on the ATP Tour.
Jannik Sinner becomes fourth to complete incredible ATP feat
With the triumph, Sinner is now the fourth player to reach the final in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte-Carlo in a single season since the inception of the Masters 1000 format in 1990.
The only other three players to have managed this are Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Federer did so in 2006, Nadal completed the feat in 2011 and Djokovic accomplished it in his historic 2015 season.
Who is the greatest male tennis player of all time?
Sinner completed the Sunshine Double in March, winning both the Indian Wells Open and the Miami Open without dropping a set.
He is now bidding to win three Masters titles in a row, which he has never managed before.
How close Jannik Sinner is to completing the Career Golden Masters
Only one player has ever completed the Career Golden Masters; the achievement of winning all of the nine ATP Masters competitions over the course of a career.
That player is Djokovic, who completed the set in 2018 when triumphing at the Cincinnati Open for the first time.
Should Sinner win the Monte-Carlo Masters, he will only need to win two more tournaments to join Djokovic.
Those events are the Madrid Open and the Italian Open, the latter of which he came close to capturing last year.
Sinner made the final in Rome in 2025, but fell to Alcaraz in front of a home crowd.
His best result at the Madrid Open is a quarterfinal finish, which he managed in 2024 before being forced to withdraw from the tournament due to injury.
