Historic Achievement at Masters Level

Sinner is now only the eighth male player to win both Indian Wells and Miami in the same season. He has also extended his impressive streak to 34 consecutive sets won at Masters level, a run that began with his triumph in Paris last November. Furthermore, Sinner is the third man after Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal to secure three consecutive Masters titles. Notably, he is the first to achieve this feat without dropping a set in any of the three tournaments.
