The world number one is on the verge of achieving the milestone of winning all the Masters 1000 titles at just 24 years old, with only his previous performances in Rome and his physical condition possibly being the sole obstacles.
The tennis world, particularly Italian sports, is paying homage to the figure of Jannik Sinner. What the San Candido native is achieving, winning five consecutive Masters 1000 titles, is leaving many speechless. One of them is Matteo Berrettini, who found himself at a loss for words: "From the outside, I can't even explain it. No one has ever done this in the history of the world. We have run out of words to describe what he is doing, and how 'easily' he seems to be doing it. It is impressive and fills us all with pride," stated the 30-year-old tennis player in comments reported by Sky Sports.

The Mutua Madrid Open has caused certain changes in the top 10: Rybakina can get closer to Sabalenka, while Swiatek surpasses Gauff.
The date and place for Stan Wawrinka's retirement as a professional tennis player are now known. The Swiss player announced a few weeks ago his intention to play until the end of the calendar, and it seems he will fulfill it as his final tournament will be the Basel ATP. The three-time Grand Slam champion will hang up his racket at home, as confirmed by the tournament organization itself. It has also been officially announced that on Monday, October 26, the day he debuts, he will receive a heartfelt tribute.

Today, Jannik Sinner has no rival. The Italian is at his peak in tennis and all the data supports it. Five consecutive Masters 1000 titles, 23 wins in a row, and only two losses so far this year. In fact, his win percentage of 93.8% (30-2) in 2026 ranks him temporarily as the fifth best win percentage in a year. He is surpassed by Roger Federer in 2006 (93.8%) and 2005 (94.8%), Jimmy Connors in 1974 (95.9%), and John McEnroe in 1984 (96.5%).

Marta Kostyuk was crowned champion of the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 after defeating Mirra Andreeva in the final (6-3, 7-5). However, the trophy presentation had a curious anecdote when the Ukrainian posed with the title alongside her team, their two dogs, and a pair of men's underwear. The 23-year-old explained on Movistar + microphones, "It's a very funny story. Last year, when we sent our clothes to the tournament laundry, they returned them with these underwear that said 'Lucky Shorts'. So we kept them. Sandra displayed them last year after each match, and this year she even went to her father's house to retrieve them to bring to this tournament. And then we made a promise that if she won the tournament, she would show them," she said, laughing.

The impressive clay court season of Arthur Fils, with a title at the Conde de Godó and semifinals at the Mutua Madrid Open, has not gone unnoticed in France. Former top player Julien Bennetau has highlighted it: "What he is doing this season is monstrous: He is fourth in the Race. Indian Wells quarterfinals, Miami semifinals, Barcelona champion, Madrid semifinals. Those are results, that consistency, and that performance are characteristic of players who are among the top five or six in the world," stated his compatriot on Radio Montecarlo (RMC).
