Sinner wins Italian Open to complete Golden Masters, eyes Roland Garros crown

ROME, May 18 — Jannik Sinner has his eyes on a first Roland Garros title after winning the Italian Open yesterday to claim a record-extending sixth consecutive Masters 1000 tournament victory.

World number one Sinner beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 to complete the ‘Golden Masters’ by winning all of the ATP’s top-ranked events, in the process becoming the first Italian men’s champion in Rome since Adriano Panatta 50 years ago.

Only Novak Djokovic had previously won all nine Masters 1000 events before yesterday, but there was little doubt about Sinner triumphing over the last 10 days.

Sinner heads into Roland Garros, which starts next weekend, on a 29-match winning streak and will be intent on banishing the ghosts of last year’s final when he wasted three championship points before losing to Carlos Alcaraz.
