Jannik Sinner also on court to tie Nole Djokovic’s record

Jannik Sinner returns to the field at the Internazionali d’Italia. On his way is surprise Andrea Pellegrino. The two blues are set to set up an important tricolor derby at the Internazionali d’Italia, which puts qualification for the quarterfinals at stake. Sinner comes from successes against Sebastian Ofner and Alexei Popyrin.

Numbers in hand, the world number 1 has already reached 13 straight wins on clay. A streak that began in Monte Carlo with a victory over Ugo Humbert. And to say that there were those who believed that clay was a surface the South Tyrolean did not like.

Should he take home the derby with Andrea Pellegrino, Jannik Sinner would become even more legendary. He is currently up to 30 straight wins in Masters 1000 tournaments. In fact, he is just one win away from the all-time record of 31 that belongs to a certain Nole Djokovic.

Jannik Sinner always repeats that individual records do not interest him, but it is clear that through such records, he is getting closer and closer to the greatest in tennis history. The world number 1 always and only takes the court to win but, at the same time, the personal record book becomes more and more valuable.
