Jannik Sinner has reached the Madrid Open final and stands on the doorstep of an unprecedented achievement. With 22 straight wins and four consecutive Masters 1,000 titles already in his pocket, can anyone stop the world No. 1? Yankee Scores breaks down Sinner’s dominant semifinal win and his quest for tennis history.

The world’s top-ranked player, Jannik Sinner, needs just one more victory to claim an unprecedented five consecutive Masters 1,000 titles following his straight-set victory over Arthur Fils to qualify for the Madrid Open final.

The Final Hurdle

The Italian won his 22nd successive match to reach Sunday’s final, where he will face either second seed Alexander Zverev or unseeded Belgian Alexander Blockx.

Sinner, 24, has won the opening three ATP 1,000 events of the season – in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo – and also triumphed in Paris late last year.

Dismantling a Rising Star

The four-time Grand Slam winner broke twice to take the first set 6-2 against 21st seed Fils, who won the clay-court Barcelona Open two weeks ago.

Fils, 21, was 3-2 up in the second set having saved two break points, but Sinner finally broke to move 5-4 ahead and served out the match to progress 6-2 6-4.

Zverev and Blockx play their semi-final later on Friday.

Sinner’s Chances at French Open

Sinner is now the clear favorite for the 2026 Roland Garros particularly with absence of Carlos Alcaraz who has been nursing an injury to his right wrist.

This may create the opportunity for the Italian to secure his own career Grand Slam – with the French Open the only one missing from his collection.
