A win in Madrid would follow his recent triumphs in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo.If Sinner manages to lift the trophy in Spain, he will become the first player in history to win five consecutive Masters 1000 titles – something not even Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer achieved during their careers.Sinner has decided that chasing immediate glory is more important than waiting for Rome. And given how well he’s playing right now, there’s no reason why he can’t pull it off again.Jannik Sinner’s path to the Madrid Open title has fewer obstacles than everThere’s little argument against Sinner being the in-form player on tour right now.
