Jannik Sinner has performed superbly over the last month, winning titles in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo.
On Sunday, Sinner became only the third man to win four consecutive Masters 1000 titles after beating Carlos Alcaraz in the Monte Carlo Masters final.
As a result, Sinner has now reclaimed the world number one spot from Alcaraz.
How would you rate that Monte Carlo final out of 10?
Following Sunday’s triumph, Sinner admitted that he was unsure of his participation in the Madrid Open, which is scheduled to begin on April 21.
Sinner should participate in Madrid as he could achieve an unprecedented ATP feat.
Jannik Sinner has the opportunity to win five consecutive Masters 1000 titles
After defeating Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s final, Jannik Sinner revealed that he is unsure whether he will participate in the Madrid Open.
During his post-match press conference, he said: “I am going to take about 2-3 days off, and then I will decide with my team whether we will go to Madrid or not.”
Sinner should participate in Madrid for one simple reason: he has the opportunity to make tennis history.
No man in the history of tennis has won five consecutive Masters 1000 titles: not even Novak Djokovic!
Sinner now has the opportunity to set himself apart from all other players in tennis history and achieve a feat that no member of the ‘Big Three’ accomplished during their respective careers.
Sinner should not let this opportunity pass him by.
However, the Italian may very well decide to do so.
| Tournament | Result | Final Opponent |
| 2025 Paris Masters | Champion | Felix Auger-Aliassime |
| 2026 Indian Wells | Champion | Daniil Medvedev |
| 2026 Miami Open | Champion | Jiri Lehecka |
| 2026 Monte Carlo Masters | Champion | Carlos Alcaraz |
Jannik Sinner has little interest in statistical records
Sinner has made no secret of his disinterest in statistical feats.
Speaking at the Miami Open last month, the Italian explained that he plays tennis for his own benefit, rather than to accomplish statistical records.
“I play for myself and I’m obviously very happy to be in the position I am. I know how much I sacrifice from the life outside tennis to be the best possible version of myself,” Sinner said in Miami.
“Some of the stats are just not relevant. Winning sets, it doesn’t mean anything, you need to win the match.
Is Jannik Sinner now the best server on the ATP Tour?
He won 18 points in a row on serve vs Jiri Lehecka…
“They’re always going to come up, some records from the past, but I try to do my thing.”
As evidenced by his quotes in Miami, it has become clear that Sinner cares little for record-setting and the Italian’s decision making does not appear to be impacted by the opportunity to reach new statistical heights.
For this reason, the opportunity to win five consecutive Masters 1000 titles is unlikely to impact Sinner’s decision making when it comes to participating in the Madrid Open.
