Jannik Sinner Sets New Masters 1000 Record at Miami Open
Miami, FL – March 24, 2026 – Jannik Sinner continued his impressive form at the Miami Open, defeating Corentin Moutet 6-1, 6-4 to advance to the round of 16. The victory was particularly notable as Sinner now holds the ATP Masters 1000 record for most consecutive sets won, with 26, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s previous record of 24 sets.
Sinner’s Historic Run
The Italian needed just 71 minutes to overcome Moutet at the Hard Rock Stadium, securing his place in the fourth round where he will face Alex Michelsen. Sinner initially equaled Djokovic’s record during his second-round win over Damir Džumhur and then broke it against Moutet.
“I am very happy,” Sinner said after the match. “This sport is unpredictable, so we endeavor to keep attention as much as we can and we’ll witness what is coming in the next round.”
Dominant Performance and Path to Victory
Sinner arrived at the Miami Open having won both the Paris Masters in November and the Indian Wells Masters title without dropping a set. He demonstrated dominance against Moutet, winning 19 of the first 26 points and taking the first set in just 22 minutes. He secured a break point in the fifth game of the second set and served out the victory.
Looking Ahead: Sunshine Double and Michelsen Challenge
With this win, Sinner is now the highest-ranked player remaining in the tournament following Carlos Alcaraz’s earlier elimination. He will now face Alex Michelsen, who came from a set down to beat Alejandro Tabilo 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Sinner is aiming to become the first man to win both Indian Wells and the Miami Open back-to-back since Roger Federer in 2017 – a feat known as the ‘Sunshine Double.’
Djokovic’s Previous Record
Novak Djokovic held the previous record of 24 consecutive sets won at the Masters 1000 level, a record he established in 2016. Sinner’s achievement marks the first time this record has been broken in a decade.
