Jannik Sinner breaks Novak Djokovic record to make tennis history in Miami
Jannik Sinner has set a new milestone by claiming his 25th and 26th straight sets at ATP Masters 1000 tournaments.
Sinner got the better of Corentin Moutet with a 6-1, 6-4 win in the third round of the Miami Open, where he’s playing as the second seed.
He’s now the highest-ranked player left in the field after Sebastian Korda knocked out world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the same round.
Up next for Sinner is a round of 16 matchup against American Alex Michelsen, where he’ll look to keep his incredible run going.
Sinner breaks Djokovic’s ATP Masters 1000 set streak
Jannik Sinner has broken the record for most consecutive sets won at ATP Masters events, a mark that dates back to the tournament’s inception in 1990.
The Italian has now surpassed Novak Djokovic’s previous record of 24 straight sets, moving his own tally up to 26. He last dropped a set at this level in October 2025.
That streak was extended with an efficient performance against Moutet, needing just one hour and 11 minutes to complete the win.
Sinner finished with a solid stat line, hitting 23 winners against 19 unforced errors and winning an impressive 87% of his first-serve points.
Next up for Sinner is Alex Michelsen, who enters their match with Sinner holding a 2-0 head-to-head advantage. Michelsen booked his place in the round of 16 by beating Alejandro Tabilo.
The American has also claimed wins over Cameron Norrie and Mattia Bellucci in Miami and is one of several home players still in contention.
He joins Sebastian Korda, Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe among the Americans who have advanced to the last 16 of this year’s Miami Open.
Jannik Sinner stands alone with most consecutive Masters 1000 sets won
Sebastian Korda, Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe have also reached the last 16 of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament.
The run continued with a solid win over Damir Dzumhur, followed by a strong showing against Corentin Moutet to move into the fourth round.
Looking ahead to his next opponent, Sinner has history on his side. He’s beaten Michelsen twice before – once in straight sets at Cincinnati and again in a convincing three-set win at the US Open, both in 2024.
