Jannik Sinner delivered another statement performance at the Madrid Open. The Italian defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets on Sunday to secure the title in emphatic fashion.
The world number three was overwhelmed 6-1, 6-2 as Sinner extended his remarkable winning streak. He has now reached 24 consecutive victories, underlining his dominance on the tour.
That level has drawn widespread praise across the sport. Among those to react was Coco Gauff, who summed up the Italian’s latest achievement in just a single word.

Her reaction was echoed by several figures from across sport. Tomas Etcheverry, Caroline Garcia and Andrea Kimi Antonelli were also among those engaging with the post.
Sinner’s latest success has placed him in uncharted territory. He became the first man in history to win five Masters 1000 titles in a row.
That run leaves him just one Masters event short of completing the full set. It is a milestone that further strengthens his growing legacy within the game.
Jannik Sinner plays down records despite historic achievement
Despite the milestone, Sinner remained grounded when discussing his achievement. He emphasised his focus is not on records or comparisons.
“It means a lot. In the same time, you know as I always said… I cannot compare myself with Rafa, Roger, Novak. What they did… it’s something incredible,” he said after the match (via The Tennis Letter).
He also highlighted the importance of his inner circle. “I don’t play for these records… I don’t play for records in general. I play for myself. I play for my team because they know what’s behind. Also my family because my family, with the success l’ve had.. they also never changed how they are towards me.”
