Jannik Sinner begins his journey with a victory at the “Mutua Madrid Open”, the fourth Masters 1000 of the season worth 8,235,540 euros underway on the clay of Caja Magica. The world number one, who entered the draw directly in the second round, beats the French Benjamin Bonzi, number 104 ATP, at the end of a more complicated challenge than expected.
The blue won in three sets with a score of 6-7(6), 6-1, 6-4, confirming its solidity and extending the streak of consecutive victories in the Masters 1000, which began in Paris, to 23.
Next opponent and record in sight
In the next round Sinner will face the Danish Elmer Moller, world number 169 from the qualifiers, who benefited from the withdrawal of Gabriel Diallo. This will be an unprecedented comparison.
In the Spanish capital the South Tyrolean could write a new page of history, becoming the first tennis player capable of winning five consecutive Masters 1000: before Madrid he triumphed in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo.
Musetti debuts with a victory
Positive debut also for Lorenzo Musetti. The Carrarino, number 9 in the ranking, overcame the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, number 63 ATP, in two sets with a score of 6-4, 7-6.
