Jannik Sinner continued his sensational form at the Italian Open after cruising past fellow Italian Andrea Pellegrino 6-2, 6-3 to secure a place in the quarterfinals.
The world No. 1 produced another commanding display to extend his incredible winning streak to 26 matches.
Sinner’s unbeaten streak continues
Sinner has not tasted defeat since February 19, when he lost to Jakub Mensik at the Qatar Open.
Since then, the Italian star has dominated the ATP Tour and further strengthened his status as the sport’s leading player.
Sinner praises Italian tennis growth
Speaking after the victory, Sinner reflected on the progress of Italian tennis and praised Pellegrino’s development.
“I’m very happy for him. He’s been working very hard,” Sinner said.
“From an Italian point of view, it’s amazing we have so many Italians.”
Quarterfinal showdown awaits
Sinner will next face Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals as he continues his pursuit of another Masters 1000 title.
The Italian has already made history by becoming the first player to win five consecutive Masters 1000 tournaments, underlining his dominance on the ATP circuit.
