Jannik Sinner is starting to dominate men's tennis and it looks like it would take an exceptional performance to stop him winning an elusive French Open title next month.
Since losing to Novak Djokovic in the last four of the Australian Open and a surprise quarter-final defeat in Doha, the Italian has been in imperious form and embarked on a sensational 27-match winning streak.
With an impressive 6-1 6-2 victory over Alexander Zverev in the Madrid Open final, the 24-year-old incredibly became the first player in history to win five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles - underlining his recent dominance at the top of the game.
Sinner hasn't stopped there and has reached the Italian Open semi-finals for the loss of just 20 games as he attempts to make more history during this calendar year.
The world number one reclaimed top spot after beating rival Carlos Alcaraz in the Monte-Carlo Masters final and he is likely to stay at the summit after the Spaniard picked up an injury and his return date is unknown at this stage.
Sinner has lost just two of 29 matches on the ATP Tour in 2026 and his most recent defeat was a 7-6 2-6 6-3 reverse against Jakub Mensik in the quarter-finals of the Qatar Open on 19th February.
In 2011, Novak Djokovic won 41 consecutive matches, a run that finally culminated at the hands of Roger Federer in the 2011 French Open semi-finals.
The Serbian won seven titles in that stretch, including the Australian Open and four Masters 1000 events.
