The 7 longest Masters 1000 winning streaks as Jannik Sinner breaks Novak Djokovic’s record

Jannik Sinner made Masters 1000 history with his quarter-final victory against Andrey Rublev at the 2026 Italian Open.

The world No 1, who is chasing his maiden title at the prestigious clay-court event in Rome, prevailed 6-2, 6-4 against Rublev at the Foro Italico on Thursday.

Sinner now stands alone as the man with the most successive Masters 1000 match wins, with his victory over Rublev taking his winning streak at this category of event to a staggering 32.

The Italian has moved clear of tennis legend Novak Djokovic, who he had joined on 31 wins with his fourth round triumph against Andrea Pellegrino in Rome.

Asked about breaking Djokovic’s record, Sinner said: “You know, it’s tough to say because I don’t play for records, I play just for my own story.

“Obviously, at the same time, it means a lot to me.”

In 2011, Djokovic won the first five Masters 1000 events he played — Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome and the Canadian Open.

Djokovic’s second-longest Masters win streak started with his triumph at the 2014 Paris Masters and also featured victories in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Rome in 2015.

Murray beat Djokovic in the 2015 Montreal title match to stop his rival’s run at 30 successive wins.

4. Roger Federer – 29 (2005-2006)

Roger Federer won 29 Masters 1000 matches in a row between 2005 and 2006 as he claimed titles in Hamburg, Cincinnati, Indian Wells and Miami.

The Swiss was denied a 30th straight victory by Rafael Nadal, who beat him in the 2006 Monte Carlo Masters final.
