Sinner extends Madrid run with comeback Win

Jannik Sinner came through a tough match to beat Benjamin Bonzi 6-7, 6-1, 6-4 in Madrid.

Bonzi took the first set and played at a high level early on, but Sinner responded quickly. He took control of the second set and stayed steady in the third to close out the win.

Sinner has now won 18 matches in a row and has 23 consecutive wins in Masters events. He has also won 40 of his last 42 matches and 46 of the last 48 sets he has played at this level.

After the match, Sinner spoke about staying focused despite the attention around his form.

“I think at the moment I’m trying to figure out how to play here on this surface. We go day by day and we’ll see how it goes… I know what’s on the line. But at the same time I don’t focus on this.”

He also admitted the match was not straightforward.

“Tough. Struggled quite a lot here. I knew this before the match. Very unique court and conditions… I tried to stay calm mentally. That’s why I won today.”

Sinner also addressed Carlos Alcaraz missing Roland Garros.

“It’s sad for tennis. You always want to play the best in the world. He’s definitely the best in the world on this surface… I wish him to recover as fast as possible.”

When asked if that changes expectations, he kept the focus on the present.

“I think this is not what we should talk about. What’s most important is, first of all tennis, it needs Carlos.”

For now, Sinner’s focus remains on Madrid as his winning run continues.
