Jannik Sinner is on a historical run right now.
The world no. 1 captured the Madrid Open title on Sunday, beating Alexander Zverev handedly 6–1, 6–2. This title marked his fifth ATP 1000 win in a row, making Sinner the first men’s tennis player in history to accomplish this streak. It’s a rare occurrence nowadays for there to be new history made in men’s tennis, especially after the Big Three era of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic (the latter is still competing). None of those legends won five ATP 1000 titles in a row.
