(atptour.com) (tennisdata.com) Sinner had opened the tournament with a tougher match on Friday, beating Benjamin Bonzi 6-7(6), 6-1, 6-4 before producing a cleaner straight-sets performance against Møller two days later. (atptour.com 1) (atptour.com 2) Sunday’s result pushed Sinner’s ATP Masters 1000 winning streak to 24 matches, according to the ATP, extending a run built across Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo and now Madrid. (atptour.com 1) (atptour.com 2) He came to Madrid trying to win a fifth consecutive Masters 1000 title, which the ATP said would set a record, after lifting trophies in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami and Monte-Carlo.

(mutuamadridopen.com) Sinner said before the tournament that the situation was “quite unique” without Alcaraz and Djokovic in the draw, while adding that “the road to a final is very long.” (mutuamadridopen.com) His next opponent is Cameron Norrie, according to the ATP’s Madrid day recap published after Sunday’s matches. (atptour.com) Madrid runs from April 22 to May 3, and Sinner is still chasing his best result there after reaching the quarterfinals in 2024. Sunday’s win kept that push on schedule.
