Sinner wins Madrid Open, sets record with fifth consecutive Masters 1,000 title
Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets to win the Madrid Open, becoming the first player to claim five consecutive Masters 1,000 titles.

Jannik Sinner added another milestone to his rapidly growing resume by winning the Madrid Open on Sunday, defeating Alexander Zverev 6‑4, 6‑3 in straight sets. The victory made the Italian the first man to secure five consecutive Masters 1,000 crowns, a feat never before achieved in the modern era.

Watch the highlights:

Sinner's clinical performance on the clay court showcased his adaptability and consistency, converting break points with precision while keeping Zverev under pressure throughout. The win extended his unbeaten run on the ATP Tour to 12 matches and further solidified his position at the top of the world rankings.

Zverev, who had reached the final without dropping a set, praised Sinner's level of play and acknowledged the difficulty of breaking through his opponent's solid baseline game. The German said he would analyse the match to identify areas for improvement ahead of upcoming events.

The triumph places Sinner in a strong position heading into the French Open, with momentum and confidence high after his historic achievement in Madrid.
