Jannik Sinner found his best tennis again, clearly defeated Elmer Moller and obtained the pass to the round of 16 of the “Mutua Madrid Open”, the fourth Masters 1000 of the season, with a total prize money of 8,235,540 euros, staged on the clay of the “Caja Magica” of the Spanish capital. The Italian, number 1 in the world and on the scoreboard, after a less than brilliant debut against Bonzi, today defeated his Danish rival, 169 in the ATP ranking, promoted from the qualifiers, with a score of 6-2 6-3. The South Tyrolean awaits the winner of the match between the British Cameron Norrie and the Argentine Thiago Agustin Tirante in the round of 16. Sinner is chasing a historic record: in the event of success in Madrid, in fact, he would become the first tennis player ever to win 5 consecutive Masters 1000 – Djokovic and Nadal stopped at 4 – after having won in Paris indoor last October and after having won the titles in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo in 2026.
Previously, Lorenzo Musetti had also won, reaching the round of 16 of the “Mutua Madrid Open”, after beating the Dutch Tallon Griekspoor, 29th place in the draw and number 33 in the ATP rankings, with a score of 6-4 7-5. In the round of 16 Musetti will challenge the Czech Jiri Lehecka, 14th in the world and 11th seeding favourite, who today defeated the American Alex Michelsen 6-4 6-2.
