Italian Open: Sinner Rules In Rome, Continues Historic Masters 1000 Run With Sixth Successive Title
Career Golden Masters: Jannik Sinner continued to soar higher and higher as he became the first Italian champion at the Italian Open since Adriano Panatta in 1976 when he defeated Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 to win his sixth consecutive ATP Masters 1000 title in Rome on Sunday.
With a comprehensive win in one hour and 44 minutes, the World No. 1 also joined Novak Djokovic as just the second player to complete the Career Golden Masters in series history, having now captured all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles. Djokovic achieved the feat in 2018 after winning Cincinnati.
"I think this year was the 50th year since an Italian won and I am really, really happy," Sinner said in his on-court interview. "There was a lot of tension on both sides; it was not perfect tennis from both of us, but I am really happy. [It has been] an incredible past two and a half months. I try to put myself in the best possible position every time and do the best I can. Not every day is simple, but I am really, really happy."
