Sinner passes Nadal’s Masters 1000 record in Madrid and refuses to be mentioned alongside the greats

Jannik Sinner beats Elmer Møller 6-2, 6-3 at the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open to set a new Masters 1000 consecutive wins record – and deflects all comparisons with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.

Jannik Sinner, Madrid 2026

Sinner sweeps Moller aside to march into Madrid last 16

Sinner (No 1) beat Moller 6-2, 6-3, dropped nothing, and moved to 24 consecutive wins at Masters level. Moller tried to hit a loose racquet back with his fist and gave everything he had. The gap between them, on this evidence, is still considerable.
