Jannik Sinner advanced to the Mutua Madrid Open final by defeating Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-4 on Friday, becoming the fourth man in history to reach the final of all nine Masters 1000 events. The top-seeded Italian joined Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic in the exclusive group.
Sinner achieved the milestone at 24 years old, younger than any of the three legends who preceded him. Tennis Majors reported that the match against No. 21 seed Fils was decided by the quality of Sinner's play, with the Frenchman unable to mount sustained resistance.
The achievement underscores Sinner's emergence as a dominant force on the ATP circuit. Reaching the final of every Masters 1000 event—the tour's most prestigious events outside the Grand Slams—marks a rare consistency at the sport's highest level.
