Jannik Sinner breaks Novak Djokovic's record for longest winning streak in Masters 1000 history

Jannik Sinner has defeated Andrey Rublev in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, to move through to the semifinals of the Masters 1000 event in Rome.

And he broke two records with that win.

First of all, it was his 27th win in a row on the tour, the new longest winning streak of his career, which has brought him four titles at Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Madrid, and now to the final four in Rome.

His previous-longest streak was 26 in a row between 2024 and 2025.

But perhaps even more impressively, it was the world No. 1's 32nd win in a row at Masters 1000 events, the new longest winning streak in Masters 1000 history, since this level of tournament began back in 1990.

Novak Djokovic held the previous record with 31 Masters 1000 wins in a row in 2011, but Sinner has now surpassed that with a run that has brought him a record five straight titles at this level—in Paris at the end of last year and at Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Madrid so far this year.

LONGEST MASTERS 1000 WINNING STREAKS (since 1990):

• 32: Jannik Sinner ['25 Paris to present]
• 31: Novak Djokovic ['11 Indian Wells to '11 Cincinnati]
• 30: Novak Djokovic ['14 Paris to '15 Canada]
• 29: Roger Federer ['05 Hamburg to '06 Monte Carlo]
• 23: Rafael Nadal ['13 Madrid to '13 Shanghai]
• 23: Novak Djokovic ['13 Shanghai to '14 Monte Carlo]

Even scarier? Sinner has won 64 of the 66 sets he's played in this 32-match winning streak at Masters 1000 events, only dropping sets to Tomas Machac in the third round in Monte Carlo (in a tie-break) and Benjamin Bonzi in the second round of Madrid (also in a tie-break).
