Jannik Sinner defeated Casper Ruud to win the Italian Open title, completing a career "Golden Masters." The win marks Sinner as the first Italian to clinch the men's singles title in Rome since 1976 and extends his Masters winning streak to 34 matches, preparing him for the French Open.
In a momentous win on Sunday at the Italian Open, Jannik Sinner defeated Norway's Casper Ruud 6-4 6-4, clinching his place in tennis history by completing a career "Golden Masters." This achievement makes Sinner only the second player after Novak Djokovic to sweep all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles.
Competing on home soil, world number one Sinner finally claimed the elusive title in Rome after six previous attempts, marking his fifth ATP 1000 title this year. This victory also positions Sinner as the first Italian to win the men's singles Italian Open since Adriano Panatta in 1976.
The triumph is part of a record 34-match winning streak across ATP Masters, propelling Sinner to success on both clay and other surfaces. His momentum is strong as he heads to the French Open, aiming to capture the only major title missing from his collection.
