Rome, May 17, 2026. Jannik Sinner takes a new step toward history. Yes, because the South Tyrolean is really writing history, and today he added another page. By beating Casper Ruud in the final of the Internazionali d’Italia 6-4, 6-4 in fact, the Italian won his sixth consecutive Masters 1000, becoming the second player in history, after Novak Djokovic, to complete the Career Golden Masters.
After completing the Sunshine Double with successes in Indian Wells and Miami, and also triumphing in Monte Carlo and Madrid, Sinner continues to rewrite world tennis records. At only 24 years old, he also became the fourth tennis player in history to surpass 14,000 points in the ATP ranking, following such holy monsters as Djokovic, Federer and Nadal.
By winning at the Foro Italico, moreover, Jannik brings back to Italy a trophy that was not only missing from his collection, but had been missing in our country for exactly 50 years, when Adriano Panatta triumphed in Rome.
