Untouchable Sinner stretches Masters win streak
Jannik Sinner ran his Masters 1000 win streak to 24 straight on Sunday, reaching the fourth round in Madrid 6-2, 6-3 over qualifier Elmer Moller.
The No. 169 Dane was treated during a medical timeout late in the first set for abdominal muscle pain, carrying on to make a match of it against the world No. 1 Italian.
Sinner, who has lost just two sets over the course of his win streak, kept his unforced error count to nine in a 67-minute victory.
“I felt better today than in the first match, the winner said. “I tried to stay calm, and serve well at the important moments. That was the key.”
Sinner now stands four wins away from becoming the first man to win five Masters titles in succession,
He improved this season to 26-2 and next plays the winner from Brit Cam Norrie or Thiago Agustin Tirante.
