MIAMI, FL – March 24, 2026 – Jannik Sinner continued his dominant run through the Miami Open presented by Itaú on Monday, defeating Corentin Moutet 6-1, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals and, in the process, established a new ATP Masters 1000 record for consecutive sets won.
The Italian’s victory further cemented his status as a force in Masters 1000 events, making it increasingly hard for opponents to even take a set off him. Sinner’s performance against Moutet marked his 13th consecutive win in Masters 1000 play, and more significantly, his 25th consecutive set won at this level. This streak encompasses his championship runs at the 2025 Paris Masters, the 2026 Indian Wells Open, and now, his ongoing campaign in Miami.
With the first set win, Sinner surpassed Novak Djokovic’s previous record of 24 consecutive sets won at Masters 1000 tournaments, a feat Djokovic achieved during the 2016 Indian Wells and Monte Carlo swing. The record-breaking run underscores Sinner’s current form and consistency on hard courts.
Sinner demonstrated control throughout the match, converting both of his break point opportunities in the first set while simultaneously saving the one break point he faced. He continued to dictate play against Moutet, securing the victory and maintaining his perfect 2-0 head-to-head record against the Frenchman.
“I’m very happy,” Sinner said after his 71-minute victory. “This sport is unpredictable, so we endeavor to stay as focused as possible and witness what happens in the next round.”
The 24-year-old has now won his last 13 matches at Masters 1000 events, and has been remarkably efficient in doing so. He’s only been pushed to seven games in six of the 25 sets he’s played during this impressive streak.
Sinner’s path to the title has been made easier by the early exit of top seed Carlos Alcaraz in the third round. Now, as the clear favorite, Sinner will look to reach the semifinals when he faces local favorite Alex Michelsen, who overcame Alejandro Tabilo 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Sinner currently leads the head-to-head against Michelsen 2-0.
The champion of the 2024 Miami Open has also won all of his service games through his first five matches of the tournament, showcasing his reliability and dominance on serve.
This latest victory adds to an already impressive resume for Sinner, who has won six ATP Masters 1000 titles, including victories in Toronto (2023), Miami (2024), Cincinnati (2024), Shanghai (2025), Paris (2025), and Indian Wells (2026). He recently became just the third player to win all six hard-court Masters 1000 events.
Sinner’s recent results demonstrate his consistent high level of play. He won the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells earlier this month, defeating Daniil Medvedev in the final. Prior to that, he reached the quarterfinals of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha, losing to Jakub Mensik, and the semifinals of the Australian Open, where he was defeated by Novak Djokovic.
The Italian’s success extends to the year-end championships as well, having won the Nitto ATP Finals in 2024, and 2025. He also led Italy to back-to-back Davis Cup titles in 2023 and 2024, further solidifying his position as one of the top players in the world.
Sinner’s next challenge will be against Michelsen, a rising American star who has been gaining momentum on the tour. The match promises to be a compelling contest, as Michelsen will look to upset the top seed and continue his impressive run at the Miami Open.
