annik Sinner has reached a significant milestone in his career by becoming only the fourth player since 1990 to reach nine consecutive quarter-finals in ATP Masters 1000 tournaments. This achievement places him alongside three of the sport’s greatest legends: Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer.
The streak began in late 2023 and has continued through the 2025 season, with Sinner advancing to the last eight in every Masters 1000 event he has entered. His latest victory came at the Cincinnati Open, where he defeated Adrian Mannarino to secure his ninth straight quarter-final appearance.
A mark of consistency and dominance
Sinner’s run highlights his remarkable consistency across different surfaces and conditions. While many players struggle to maintain form throughout the demanding Masters calendar, the Italian has shown an ability to adapt and perform at a high level week after week. His achievement is particularly notable given the depth of competition in today’s ATP Tour.
The only players to have recorded longer streaks are Nadal (21), Djokovic (15), and Federer (10), all of whom have multiple Grand Slam titles and years of dominance behind them. Sinner’s inclusion in this group signals his arrival as a true force in men’s tennis.
Looking ahead to the US Open
With the US Open approaching, Sinner’s form makes him one of the top contenders for the title. He won his first Grand Slam at Wimbledon earlier this year and has already defended his Australian Open crown. His ability to reach the latter stages of major tournaments consistently suggests that more titles could be on the horizon.
As he prepares for his quarter-final match against Felix Auger-Aliassime in Cincinnati, Sinner will look to extend his streak and continue building momentum. Whether he can match or surpass the records of Nadal, Djokovic, and Federer remains to be seen, but his current trajectory points toward a career filled with historic achievements.
