World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has not only established himself as the best tennis player in the world today but continues to rank among the greatest No. 1s in history with an incredible record over the past year, particularly in achieving deep runs in tournaments.
The Italian has become just the 4th player to reach the quarterfinals in 15 consecutive tournaments in the last 30 years. The others? None other than Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.
Sinner's historic consistency puts him among the greats
The 2-time Grand Slam champion is enjoying remarkable form at the start of 2025, following a 2024 season of extraordinary consistency. Last year, Sinner achieved a staggering 73-6 record (92.4%), won eight titles, and reached at least the quarterfinals in every tournament he entered.
Three of his losses came at the hands of his great rival, Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated him in all their meetings last year: the semifinals of Indian Wells and the French Open, and the final of the China Open.
Sinner’s other defeats in 2024 include losses to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Monte Carlo Masters semifinals, Daniil Medvedev in the Wimbledon semifinals, and Andrey Rublev in the Canadian Open quarterfinals. Additionally, the Italian withdrew before playing the Madrid Open quarterfinals, which is not counted in the official streak.

In total, Sinner has now reached at least the quarterfinals in 15 consecutive tournaments since winning his first Major title at the Australian Open 2024. The last time he fell short of the quarterfinals was at the Paris Masters 2023, where he withdrew before facing De Minaur in the Round of 16. To find a loss before the quarterfinals, we have to go back to the 2023 Shanghai Masters, where he was the 6th seed and lost in the Round of 16 to Ben Shelton (19th seed) 6-2, 3-6, 6-7.
As Sinner aims to defend his Australian Open title, he has already won 11 consecutive matches in the tournament and is set for a quarterfinal clash with local star Alex De Minaur. The Italian, the top seed, appears to have a favourable draw, as he avoids Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Alexander Zverev (likely his main challengers) until a potential final.
Point. Of. The. Tournament.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
