Sinner’s Record Sets Streak Ends in Monte Carlo Win

The world No. 2 recovered after losing a set, then advanced to the quarter-finals and extended his Masters match-winning streak to 19.

  • On Thursday, Jannik Sinner defeated Tomas Machac 6-1, 6-7, 6-3 at the Monte Carlo Masters, ending the Italian's record run of 37 consecutive sets won at Masters 1000 events.
  • The world number two completed the Sunshine Double last month without dropping a set, winning titles at Indian Wells and the Miami Open; his previous set loss occurred at the Shanghai Masters in October.
  • Reflecting on the match, Sinner, 24, admitted, "I was struggling a little bit," noting he struggled to find energy in the second set despite feeling great before competing.
  • Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the quarter-final after Casper Ruud was forced to retire with the Canadian leading 7-5, 2-2, setting up a clash with Sinner in the final eight.
  • Elsewhere, 19-year-old Joao Fonseca reached his first Masters quarter-final after defeating Matteo Berrettini 6-3, 6-2, while third seed Alexander Zverev beat Zizou Bergs 6-2, 7-5 to advance.
