The steamroller that is Jannik Sinner keeps on rolling.
The world No. 1 dispatched Andrey Rublev, 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday, to reach the Italian Open semifinals.
It was Sinner’s 27th straight match win and his 32nd in a row at the Masters 1000 level, breaking a tie with Novak Djokovic, considered by many the GOAT GOAT of men’s tennis.
“The amazing thing about this 32 matches in a row, and almost all of them,” Jimmy Arias said on Tennis Channel, “he’s not losing sets to anyone.”
Sinner is seeking to become the first homegrown Italian Open champion since Adriano Panatta in 1976.
He has won eight of the nine Masters 1000s in his career, and is seeking to tie Djokovic’s record of nine.
Sinner has won four straight Masters 1000 titles this year and five straight overall.
He will face either No. 7 Daniil Medvedev or Martín Landaluce in the semifinals.
