Jannik Sinner’s remarkable streak of 37 consecutive sets won at Masters 1000 events, spanning an impressive 186 days, finally concluded on Thursday afternoon in Monaco. Czech player Tomas Machac was the one to break this historic run by taking a set from the Italian.
Despite dropping a set, the world No. 2 seed, Sinner, ultimately secured victory, defeating Machac 6-1, 6-7 (3), 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. Sinner himself acknowledged the significance of losing a set for the first time in such a long period at this elite level, even as he continued his successful campaign.
