Sinner’s run now includes a 30-match streak of consecutive set wins at Masters 1000 events, a sequence that spans Paris, Indian Wells and Miami. (tennismajors.com) He has won 32 of his last 34 matches and registered his 10th straight victory at this tournament. (tennismajors.com) The ATP’s match report notes Sinner dropped just nine points on serve in the quarterfinal and logged a TDI Insights performance rating of 9.65 — well above the tour average. (atptour.com) Earlier this month he captured the Indian Wells title, completing a career sweep of hard‑court Masters 1000 events and joining Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as the only men to do so. (atptour.com) His semi will come against Alexander Zverev, who advanced after a 6‑1, 6‑2 quarterfinal win over Francisco Cerúndolo to set up the Sinner clash. (atptour.com) Sinner leads the head‑to‑head with Zverev 7‑4 and carries a six‑match winning run against the German — a recent stretch that includes their Indian Wells meeting. (miamiopen.com)
