Jannik Sinner made history at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia on Thursday when he secured a record-breaking 32nd consecutive victory at the ATP Masters 1000 level, surpassing Novak Djokovic for the longest winning streak in this category. This was reported by the Association of Tennis Professionals Tour, according to UNN.

The ATP PIF world number one defeated Andrey Rublev 6-2, 6-4 in the quarterfinals to become the sole record holder. Djokovic's previous record of 31 consecutive Masters 1000 wins lasted from the second round of Indian Wells 2011 to the final of the Cincinnati Open 2011. Sinner matched this achievement on Tuesday after his round of 16 victory in Rome.
The five longest ATP Masters 1000 winning streaks:
- Jannik Sinner — 32 (2025 Paris 2R — ongoing).
- Novak Djokovic — 31 (2011 Indian Wells 2R — 2011 Cincinnati F).
- Novak Djokovic — 30 (2014 Paris 2R — 2015 Montreal F).
- Roger Federer — 29 (2005 Hamburg 1R — 2006 Monte-Carlo F).
- Novak Djokovic — 23 (2013 Shanghai 2R — 2014 Monte-Carlo SF).
- Rafael Nadal — 23 (2013 Madrid 2R — 2013 Shanghai SF).
Sinner's last defeat at a Masters 1000 tournament occurred at the Rolex Shanghai Masters in October 2025, when he retired during the deciding set of a third-round match against Tallon Griekspoor. He began his winning streak at the Rolex Paris Masters in November, defeating Zizou Bergs 6-4, 6-2 in the second round before going on to win the title. Since then, the 24-year-old Italian has only continued his run of success.

In March, Sinner won the BNP Paribas Open and the Miami Open, becoming the first player since Roger Federer in 2017 to complete the so-called "Sunshine Double." He also achieved this without dropping a single set.
The Italian then continued his winning streak on clay: he defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters and then overcame Alexander Zverev in the final of the Mutua Madrid Open. Following his victory in Madrid, Sinner became the first tennis player in history to win five consecutive Masters 1000 tournaments.
During this streak, Sinner has lost only two sets in 32 matches. From the second round in Paris to the third round in Miami, he won 37 consecutive sets, highlighting his consistency.
Furthermore, Sinner could achieve another historic milestone this week in Rome. If he wins the tournament, he will become the second tennis player after Djokovic to complete a Career Golden Masters — winning all nine Masters 1000 series tournaments. He would also become the first Italian to win Rome in the men's singles since 1976 (when Adriano Panatta achieved the feat).
