Sinner breaks Djokovic mark
Jannik Sinner set a new Masters 1000 record for consecutive sets won, breaking Novak Djokovic’s mark en route to a third-round win over Corentin Moutet at the Miami Open (skysports.com). The milestone came as the Miami Open progresses and reshuffles title favorites in both draws (skysports.com).
Sinner’s current Masters 1000 run sits at 26 consecutive sets won, overtaking Novak Djokovic’s previous mark of 24. (atptour.com) The streak began at the Rolex Paris Masters, where Sinner won the title without dropping a set on Nov. 2, 2025. (atptour.com) He then carried that form into the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, claiming the title on Mar. 15, 2026 and again not losing a set during the fortnight. (atptour.com) In Miami’s third round Sinner beat Corentin Moutet 6-1, 6-4 in 71 minutes, firing 23 winners to Moutet’s 11 and winning 87% (33/38) of his first-serve points, according to ATP match stats. (atptour.com) World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz was eliminated by Sebastian Korda in Miami’s third round, removing a top contender from the draw. (espn.com) With Alcaraz gone, Sinner is the highest seed remaining in the men’s field. (thetennisgazette.com) Sinner’s fourth-round opponent will be American Alex Michelsen; Michelsen (ranked ~40, age 21) reached the last 16 by beating Alejandro Tabilo 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. (atptour.com) (tennistonic.com) The run also translates to 13 straight Masters 1000 match wins for Sinner and an extended unbeaten streak of 21 matches versus left-handed opponents. (atptour.com)
