In the match taking place in the early morning of May 4 (Vietnam time), Sinner won convincingly with a score of 6-1, 6-2. The Italian player completely controlled the game, not giving the opponent a chance to create a surprise.
The title in Madrid helped Sinner become the first player since 1990 to win 5 consecutive ATP Masters 1000 tournaments in the same competition cycle. Before that, he successively won in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo and now Madrid.
On this journey, Sinner maintained a stable performance when he only lost very few sets, while extending his winning streak against Zverev. At the Madrid Open this year alone, the 24-year-old player only lost 1 set before stepping into the championship.
Not only dominating Masters 1000 tournaments, Sinner also impressed when completing "Sunshine Double" (Indian Wells and Miami) without losing a set. High form helps him consolidate his world No. 1 position on the ATP rankings.
With this streak of achievements, Sinner is approaching the record of 6 Masters 1000 titles in a season set by Novak Djokovic in 2015. Besides, the Italian player is also facing the opportunity to complete the "Career Golden Masters" if he continues to win the remaining tournaments in the system.
Before Sinner, names like Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal had won a maximum of 4 consecutive Masters 1000 titles in a series of competitions.
