Jannik Sinner Shatters Novak Djokovic’s Masters 1000 Consecutive Sets Record
Jannik Sinner has etched his name into the history books, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s long-standing record for consecutive sets won at ATP Masters 1000 events. The Italian world number two achieved this milestone during his dominant 6-1, 6-4 victory over Corentin Moutet at the Miami Open on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
Sinner’s Historic Run
Sinner’s win marked his 26th consecutive set victory at the Masters 1000 level, surpassing Djokovic’s previous record of 24, which had stood since 2016. As reported by the BBC, Sinner equaled Djokovic’s record in his opening match against Damir Dzumhur before breaking it against Moutet.
The 24-year-classic has been in exceptional form, winning the Paris Masters in November and the Indian Wells Masters earlier this month without dropping a set. Sky Sports highlights Sinner’s remarkable consistency and dominance in recent tournaments.
Match Details and Upcoming Challenges
Against Moutet, Sinner demonstrated his control from the outset, winning 19 of the first 26 points and securing the first set in just 22 minutes. He continued his strong performance in the second set, breaking Moutet’s resistance and closing out the match in 71 minutes.
Sinner will now face American Alex Michelsen in the last 16. He is aiming to become the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to win the ‘Sunshine Double’ – claiming both the Indian Wells and Miami Open titles in the same year. Tennis365 notes that Carlos Alcaraz’s early exit in Miami has likewise opened up the opportunity for Sinner to close the gap on the Spaniard in the battle for the world No. 1 ranking.
