Italian Open: Sinner Equals Novak Djokovic’s Masters Feat, Brushes Past Pellegrino To Enter QF
Italian Andrea Pellegrino: World No. 1 Jannik Sinner moved level with Novak Djokovic for the longest ATP Masters 1000 winning streak in history after cruising into the quarter-finals of the Italian Open with a straight-sets win over fellow Italian Andrea Pellegrino on Tuesday. Backed by a packed Campo Centrale crowd in Rome, Sinner produced another clinical display to seal a 6-2, 6-3 victory and register his 31st consecutive win at the Masters 1000 level, matching the record previously set by Djokovic.
The Italian top seed has been virtually unstoppable on the tour over the past six months and is now within touching distance of claiming the record outright if he wins his quarter-final clash later this week. Sinner’s remarkable streak began late last season and has included title-winning runs in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, and Madrid, where he recently became the first player to win five consecutive Masters 1000 titles.
The 24-year-old is also chasing another landmark in Rome. Having already completed eight of the nine Masters 1000 titles available on the ATP Tour, Sinner is attempting to become only the second player, after Djokovic, to achieve the Career Golden Masters.
