Jannik Sinner has won the Madrid Open, becoming the first male player in history to claim five consecutive Masters 1000 titles after defeating Alexander Zverev in straight sets. The Italian world number one secured the title on May 3, 2026, continuing his remarkable run of dominance on the ATP Tour.

According to BBC Sport, Sinner defeated Zverev comprehensively to claim the prestigious clay-court crown. The victory further solidifies his position at the top of the world rankings and extends his winning streak at the elite level of men's tennis.
