Rome: Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner has reached the semi-finals of the Italian Open after a straight-sets win over Andrey Rublev. According to Beyond Time News, the victory also saw Sinner set a new record in Masters 1000 events.
Sinner Breaks Djokovic’s Record
Sinner defeated Rublev 6-2, 6-4 in a strong performance at the Foro Italico.
The win extended his winning streak in ATP Masters 1000 tournaments to 32 consecutive matches. This broke the previous record of 31 wins set by Novak Djokovic in 2011.

Rublev made 28 unforced errors during the match. Sinner used the conditions well and maintained steady pressure throughout the contest.
The Italian also produced some highlight shots, including a sharp cross-court drop shot in the second set.
Sinner Eyes Next Challenge
Sinner is likely to face Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals. Medvedev is expected to compete against Martin Landaluce in his upcoming match.
According to Beyond Time News, Sinner said the windy conditions in Rome made the match difficult. However, he added that he adapted well and remained satisfied with his performance.
Swiatek Also in Strong Form
On the women’s side, Iga Świątek is aiming to reach the final of the tournament.
She will face Elina Svitolina in the semi-finals after a strong run in Rome.
Swiatek has lost very few games in her recent matches and appears to be returning to top form on clay.
