Jannik Sinner is on the verge of making history by potentially winning five consecutive Masters 1000 titles at the Madrid Open on May 3, 2026. This unprecedented achievement would solidify his position as one of the top players in tennis.
Sinner enters the final with an impressive 22-match winning streak and a remarkable 29-2 win-loss record for the year.

He expressed respect for Sinner’s skill, stating, “He’s World No. 1 and hasn’t lost a match since the beginning of February.” Zverev knows he must elevate his game: “I think I have to play very, very good tennis to have a chance,” he said.
Key statistics leading into the final:
- Sinner’s current head-to-head record against Zverev stands at 9-4.
