Jannik Sinner continues to dominate world tennis and has just achieved a historic milestone: 32 consecutive wins in a Masters 1000 tournament, a feat that places him at the top of the elite in contemporary tennis. This impressive streak comes at a time when Sinner is in remarkable physical and mental shape, strongly approaching the major goal he set at the beginning of the season: to win the Internazionali d’Italia in Rome for the first time.
Yesterday, the world number one, who has benefited from the absence of his main rival Carlos Alcaraz to extend his lead in the rankings, delivered yet another nearly perfect performance by defeating Andrey Rublev. However, the victory was not without its setbacks: at the end of the second set, Sinner experienced a slight lapse that nearly cost him a set that seemed guaranteed.
Renzo Furlan, former coach of Jasmine Paolini and a deep connoisseur of Italian tennis, analyzed the situation with a realistic and even reassuring perspective for fans of the young talent from Alto Adige. “It’s a good thing, because we got to see a more human Sinner,” Furlan confessed in an exclusive interview with Sky Sport. The expert emphasized that this moment of distraction should not be a cause for alarm, but rather a sign that Sinner is managing the physical and mental fatigue of a demanding tournament.
Furlan also explained that, despite a brief loss of control, Sinner regained his composure with immense personality: “In the last match, he consistently made his first serve, recognized that it was time to push, and closed the match with determination.” The former coach revealed that the player did complain slightly about some discomfort, showing signs of fatigue, but he managed to overcome these difficulties to secure the victory.
Sinner himself acknowledged the need for a quick recovery to be at 100% for the semifinal, aware of the challenge that awaits him. This display of vulnerability, far from weakening his image, reinforces the idea that the young Italian is growing as a complete athlete, knowing how to manage the highs and lows of high-level competition.
With this victory, Jannik Sinner not only maintains his impressive winning streak but also sends a clear warning to his opponents: he is on his way to becoming a true tennis legend, ready to claim titles that have long eluded him. The conclusion of the Internazionali d’Italia promises to be electrifying, and the tennis world is watching every step of this prodigy who already proves that, even being human, he is almost unbeatable.
