Jannik Sinner has demonstrated in this American hard court swing that he has regained his level. The best proof of this is the Sunshine Double he achieved after winning the titles of Indian Wells and Miami Open. But as if that weren't enough, the Italian extends a streak that will be hard to surpass, as he now has a total of 34 consecutive sets won in Masters 1000. From Paris 2025 to Miami 2026, he hasn't lost a single set.

The 2026 clay court season has already kicked off, and the Mutua Madrid Open has taken the opportunity to officially announce the entry list for the men's draw. As expected for a mandatory Masters 1000 event, the main contenders will be Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. However, it is worth noting the confirmation of Novak Djokovic, who will make his debut on the tour at the Caja Mágica, and the first appearance of Holger Rune, who seven months after his Achilles tendon rupture, is once again registered for a tournament.

Before a very intense clay court tour begins for Carlos Alcaraz, his coach, Samu López, spoke in an interview with Fernando Murciego for Eurosport. One of the issues discussed was the real possibility of his protégé losing the world number one spot in the coming weeks to Jannik Sinner: "I think he understands it can happen and it's not a drama. It has happened before. In the end, whether you are number 1 or number 4... what matters is that you see yourself evolving, that you are ready for big moments, and that you can continue adding titles."
The coach continued to explain his response: "The top spot is a result of consistency throughout the year. This is a long-term race. We will see, at different times one defends points, then another. In the end, whoever finishes first will deserve it. There's no need to give it more importance than it deserves."

Jannik Sinner is already a Sunshine Double champion. The Italian has claimed the titles of Indian Wells and Miami, the latter after defeating Jiri Lehecka in the final in Florida (6-4, 6-4). This way, the world number two is gaining momentum again and leaving behind the slump at the beginning of the year. Therefore, at the trophy ceremony, he wanted to dedicate the title to his team: "Thanks to my team for motivating me. I know not everyone is here. I suppose they are watching me from home. The work they do with me is incredible. I try to give my best every day. We had some excellent training days before Indian Wells. Seeing this kind of result makes me happy, and even more so the level we are trying to reach and the type of player we aim to become," confessed the player from San Candido.

Jiri Lehecka faced off in his first Masters 1000 final, but he couldn't match the level of Jannik Sinner, who ultimately became the 2026 Miami Open champion. That's why the Czech was full of praise for the Italian during the awards ceremony: "It's never easy to be here after losing a final like this. If I had to lose to someone, it would be to you, Jannik. Congratulations to you and your team for always doing an incredible job," stated the new world number 14.
