Jannik Sinner Shatters Novak Djokovic’s Masters 1000 Consecutive Sets Record
Jannik Sinner continues his dominant run, etching his name into the history books by surpassing Novak Djokovic’s record for the most consecutive sets won at ATP Masters 1000 events. The Italian achieved this milestone during his third-round victory at the Miami Open presented by Itaú on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, defeating Corentin Moutet 6-1, 6-4.
Record-Breaking Performance
Sinner’s win marked his 26th consecutive set victory at the Masters 1000 level, exceeding Djokovic’s previous streak of 24 sets, which was set in 2016. This achievement underscores Sinner’s exceptional form, which began at the Rolex Paris Masters last November, where he secured the title without dropping a set and continued with his triumph at the BNP Paribas Open earlier in March.
Miami Open Quarterfinal Awaits
Sinner’s journey in Miami continues as he prepares to face Alex Michelsen in the fourth round on Tuesday. Michelsen advanced to this stage after defeating Alejandro Tabilo 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. This will be their third encounter, with Sinner having won both previous matches in 2024 – at Cincinnati and the US Open – without conceding a set.
Michelsen’s Rising Momentum
Alex Michelsen, 21, is making a strong showing on home soil at the Miami Open. He has reached at least the round of 16 in both Indian Wells and Miami this season, becoming the youngest American to achieve this feat since 2000.
