Jannik Sinner Record Run Continues with Italian Open Semi-Final Spot
Jannik Sinner extended his Sinner record run after beating Andrey Rublev at the Italian Open in Rome. The world number one won 6-2, 6-4 in straight sets. As a result, he advanced to the semi-finals in dominant fashion. The Italian star also made history during the match. He reached 32 consecutive wins in Masters 1000 tournaments. Therefore, he broke Novak Djokovic’s previous record from 2011. Sinner stayed calm after the achievement. He explained that he focuses more on improving his game than chasing records. However, he admitted the milestone still means a lot to him.
Sinner Continues Dominant Form
Rublev struggled to match Sinner’s intensity from the start. The Russian lost his serve early in both sets. In addition, he made 28 unforced errors during the contest. Sinner controlled rallies with confidence and precision. The home crowd responded loudly to every winning shot. For example, fans celebrated several powerful baseline winners during key moments.
The Italian player now looks like a strong title contender in Rome. Carlos Alcaraz remains sidelined with injury, which increases Sinner’s chances further. As a result, many experts see him as the favorite for the trophy.
Focus Turns to Semi-Final Challenge
Sinner could next face Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals. Medvedev, the 2023 Rome champion, will play Martin Landaluce later on Thursday. Despite his strong form, Sinner admitted he feels tired after several intense matches. He was seen touching his left thigh near the end of the match. However, he still closed out the victory comfortably. The Italian star said recovery will now become his main priority. He also revealed that the French Open remains his biggest goal this season. Fans will now wait eagerly to see if the Sinner record run continues in Rome.
