Jannik Sinner made Masters 1000 history with his quarter-final victory against Andrey Rublev at the 2026 Italian Open.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
