Sinner Wins Madrid Open Over Zverev 6-1, 6-2

Jannik Sinner claimed the Madrid Open title on Sunday with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 victory over Alexander Zverev in the final at the Caja Magica in Spain's capital. The world number one wrapped up the match in 57 minutes, extending his winning streak in ATP Masters 1000 events and securing his fifth consecutive title at the level.

Sinner broke Zverev four times without facing a single breakpoint himself, maintaining control from the first game. The Italian, seeded first, converted all four of his break opportunities and fired eight aces while winning 93 percent of his first-serve points. Zverev, the third seed and a two-time Madrid champion, struggled to generate rhythm, committing numerous errors in a performance he later described as poor.

The win marks Sinner's first Madrid Open trophy and makes him the first player in ATP history to capture five straight Masters 1000 titles, a run that began with Paris last year and continued through Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo. He also became the first to sweep the opening four Masters events of a calendar year. Sinner improved to 30-2 for the season and has not lost a Masters match since Shanghai.
