Jannik Sinner has joined elite company in tennis history by tying Novak Djokovic and Ivan Lendl with 26 consecutive wins in Grand Slam matches played on hard courts. This streak places him third in the Open Era, behind only Roger Federer, who holds the record with 40 wins, and Djokovic’s second-best mark of 27. At just 24 years old, Sinner’s consistency and dominance across the Australian Open and US Open have propelled him into a rarefied tier of greatness.

Building the Streak Across Majors

Sinner’s run began in early 2024 and has spanned two Australian Open titles and a title defense at the US Open. His ability to maintain peak performance across multiple tournaments and seasons is what makes this streak so remarkable. Whether facing top seeds or rising challengers, Sinner has found ways to adapt, control rallies, and close out matches with precision.

Federer’s Record Still Stands

While Sinner’s achievement is historic, Federer’s 40-match streak from 2005 to 2008 remains untouched. That run included five consecutive US Open titles and multiple Australian Open triumphs. Djokovic’s 27-match streak from 2011 to 2012 also came during a period of near-total dominance. Sinner now stands shoulder to shoulder with these icons, and with his current form, he may yet climb higher.

Youth and Momentum on His Side

What makes Sinner’s accomplishment even more impressive is his age. At 24, he is still developing his game, refining his serve, and expanding his tactical range. His ability to stay mentally composed and physically sharp through long matches and high-pressure moments suggests that this streak may not be his last.
