Sinner crushes Zverev to win Madrid Open and claim record 5th straight Masters
1000 title
MADRID (AP) --- Top-ranked Jannik Sinner cruised past Alexander Zverev in the
final of the Madrid Open to win the tournament for the first time and become
the first man to win five consecutive Masters 1000 events.
Sinner beat the third-ranked Zverev 6-1, 6-2 on Sunday for his 23rd straight
win. He had already won Master 1000 tournaments in Monte Carlo, Miami and
Indian Wells this year, and in Paris last year.
Zverev lost to Sinner in the semifinals of each of those tournaments. He won in
Madrid in 2018 and 2021, and was runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz in 2022.
In the women's final on Saturday, Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine beat Mirra Andreeva
of Russia 7-5, 6-3.
