Jannik Sinner made history in Miami on Monday night, breaking the record for most sets won in a row in the history of Masters 1000 events, since that level of tournament began back in 1990.
By defeating Corentin Moutet in the third round of the Miami Open, 6-1, 6-4, Sinner has now won 26 sets in a row at Masters 1000 events, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s previous record of 24 from 2016.
The Italian won the last two Masters 1000 events without dropping a set, in Paris last fall (10-0) and Indian Wells last week (12-0), and he tied Djokovic’s previous record with his 6-3, 6-3 victory against Damir Dzumhur in his first match in Miami two days ago.
And now, he moves to the top of the list.
MOST CONSECUTIVE SETS WON AT MASTERS 1000 EVENTS (since 1990):
- 26: Jannik Sinner ['25 Paris to present]
- 24: Novak Djokovic ['16 Indian Wells to '16 Monte Carlo]
- 21: Carlos Alcaraz ['23 Indian Wells to '23 Miami]
- 19: Novak Djokovic ['14 Paris to '15 Indian Wells]
- 18: Andy Murray ['16 Rome to '16 Cincinnati]
- 18: Jannik Sinner ['24 Shanghai to '25 Rome]
(note: a walkover loss would end the streak)
