Jannik Sinner&#8217s second outing at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia fires up the crowd at a packed Centrale, on a super blue day with Jasmine Paolini&#8217s earlier success, and marks new records for the tennis player from Sesto Pusteria, who has now reached 49 weeks as No. 1 in the ATP rankings. With his success against Jasper De Jong in the third round of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia 2025, Jannik Sinner marks victory No. 80 in his career in Masters 1000 tournaments in 106 matches played. Since the’introduction of this category (1990), only two players have reached eighty victories in “thousand” tournaments in fewer matches than the Italian: Rafael Nadal (96 matches) and Stefan Edberg (103 matches).

Jannik continues his consecutive winning streak bringing it to 23: it is his longest in his career, and 12 wins in a row at the Masters 1000 level. Sinner on the ATP Tour hasn&#8217t lost a match before the quarterfinals since the Shanghai 2023 tournament (he was defeated by American Ben Shelton in the round of 16).

Jannik’s third-round victory is the most recent.

Sinner’s IBI25 third-round victory is his 42nd consecutive against tennis players ranked outside the ATP top 10. At 23 years and 264 days old, the Italian is the youngest player to have so many consecutive victories against opponents not included in the top 10 ranking since Ivan Lendl in 1982 (the naturalized U.S.-born Czech champion was then 22 years and 78 days old).

Impressive this’other record set by Sinner: the victory over De Jong at the Foro Italico brings to 61 wins and no losses the Italian No. 1’s record against players ranked outside the ATP Top 20 since the start of the US Open 2023.
