Jannik Sinner advanced to the final of the Mutua Madrid Open on Friday, defeating No. 21 seed Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-4 to become the fourth man in history to reach the final of all nine Masters 1000 events. At 24 years old, Sinner achieved this milestone younger than Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, or Novak Djokovic, according to Tennis Majors.
The top seed's dominant performance over Fils underscored Sinner's consistency across the Masters circuit. The Italian's progression through all nine events—held annually in Montreal, Cincinnati, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Shanghai, and Paris—marks a rare achievement in men's tennis history. Only three players before him have managed the feat, a testament to the depth and endurance required to compete at the highest level across diverse surfaces and conditions.
Sinner's trajectory on the Masters stage reflects his rapid ascent in professional tennis. His ability to reach finals at every premier Masters venue at such a young age positions him among the sport's elite competitors and suggests sustained dominance across the tour's most prestigious events outside the Grand Slams.
