Sinner makes history with five consecutive Masters titles in 59-minute demolition of Zverev

Sinner (No 1) beat Zverev (No 2) 6-1, 6-2 in 59 minutes, won 13 consecutive sets against him, and made history. Five consecutive Masters titles. No player had done it since the series began in 1990.

Sinner vs Zverev (again!): The Madrid final that keeps asking the same question about Zverev

Sinner has won eight consecutive matches against Zverev since August 2024, five of them at Masters 1000 level, with scorelines that tell their own story. Sunday's Madrid final will be their sixth meeting in that streak – and the fifth consecutive at Masters 1000 level. Can the outcome be different?
