Sinner Routs Zverev 6-1, 6-2 for First Madrid Title, Becomes First Man to Win Five Straight Masters 1000 Crowns
On May 3, 2026, Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1, defeated Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-2 in the men's singles final of the Madrid Open at Manolo Santana Stadium in Madrid, Spain, winning his first Madrid title in just 58 minutes.
It was Sinner's fifth consecutive Masters 1000 title, a run spanning Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo and Madrid in which he dropped only two sets, making him the first man in history to win five straight Masters 1000 events. He did not face a single break point in the final, converted all four break points he earned, and won 93 percent of points behind his first serve.
Sinner has now beaten Zverev nine straight times to lead their head-to-head 10-4. He owns eight of the nine Masters 1000 titles, missing only Rome; a title there next week would make him the second man, after Novak Djokovic, to complete the Career Golden Masters. He had never passed the quarterfinals in three previous Madrid appearances.
