Jannik Sinner breaks Novak Djokovic's record; becomes youngest ever to reach finals at all nine ATP Masters 1000 events

Jannik Sinner continued his incredible run on Friday by reaching the final of the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open, making him the youngest player in history to advance to the title match at every one of the nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments. The world No.1 defeated France’s Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-4 in straight sets at the Caja Mágica to achieve record-breaking feat.

Jannik Sinner's special milestone

Jannik Sinner became the fourth man overall to achieve the rare feat of advancing to the title match at every one of the nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments. At just 24 years old, Sinner is the youngest to join an elite group that includes Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal.

Players who have reached finals at all nine ATP Masters 1000 events:

Roger Federer – 30 years (Paris 2011)

Novak Djokovic – 25 years (Shanghai 2012)

Rafael Nadal – 27 years (Cincinnati 2013)

Jannik Sinner – 24 years (Madrid 2026)

Jannik Sinner chasing five straight masters titles and career Golden Masters

The Italian is on fire at the biggest events. He lifted the trophy in Paris last year and has already won Indian Wells, Miami, and Monte-Carlo in 2026. That gives him a 27-match winning streak at the Masters 1000 level and puts him on course to become the first player ever to claim five consecutive titles at this tier.

Sinner has also become only the third man to reach the final of the first four Masters events of a single season, following Federer in 2006 and Nadal in 2011. With eight Masters 1000 titles already to his name, his first coming in Toronto in 2023, he is quickly rewriting the record books.

A win in Madrid followed by victory in Rome would hand Sinner the Career Golden Masters, matching the only man who has done it so far: 40-time Masters champion Novak Djokovic.

Upcoming clash

Jannik Sinner will now face either two-time Madrid champion Alexander Zverev or young Belgian Alexander Blockx in Sunday’s final. Regardless of the opponent, the Italian enters as the clear favourite and with history firmly in his sights. Sinner’s calm confidence and powerful game have turned him into the player everyone must beat.

With the clay-court season heating up, all eyes will be on whether the 24-year-old can keep the winning streak alive and add another piece of silverware to an already remarkable year.
