Sinner equals Djokovic’s all-time Masters 1000 win streak with Pellegrino dispatch in Rome

Jannik Sinner (No 1) eased past compatriot Andrea Pellegrino (No 155) 6-2, 6-3 to equal Novak Djokovic's all-time record of 31 consecutive Masters 1000 wins. The Italian needed one accelerative gear-change from 3-3 in the second to settle a match the qualifier had spent 80 minutes refusing to lose.

Musetti out of Rome, out of top 10, and unsure of Roland-Garros after Ruud defeat

The Norwegian dispatched the home favourite 6-3, 6-1 to reach a fifth Rome quarter-final – and the Italian leaves the top 10 nursing the fourth thigh injury of a brutal 13 months. Ruud said afterwards he had spotted Musetti's struggles on a tape, and made him run accordingly.
