Jannik Sinner scored three victories at the Cincinnati Masters for a place in the quarter-final. The defending champion passed Daniel Elahi Galan, Gabrial Diallo and Adrian Mannarino to remain on the title course.
Victory over the Frenchman was the Italian's 24th in a row on hard court, extending his dominance that started last year. Sinner is 39-1 in his previous 40 matches on the most common surface in the previous 12 months!
This streak highlights Jannik's consistency and confidence ahead of the the US Open, where he targets his fourth consecutive Major crown on his beloved surface.
The Italian claimed four hard-court ATP titles in 2021 and repeated that in 2023. The difference? He lifted a notable title in Canada two years ago and started his notable journey on the most notable surface in the calendar.
Jannik raised his game to a higher level in 2024 and became the dominant figure in men's tennis. He claimed seven hard-court ATP titles, including six notable ones!

He conquered the Australian Open, Miami, Cincinnati, the US Open, Shanghai and the ATP Finals for an incredible streak that placed him among hard-court giants.
Sinner is 10-0 on this surface in 2025, defending the title in Melbourne and seeking another in Cincinnati. Jannik is 39-1 on hard since Cincinnati last year, with the only loss coming in that epic Beijing Open final to Carlos Alcaraz.
The Italian's blend of precision serving, aggressive baseline play and remarkable composure under pressure has made him a formidable opponent in every event he plays. Those superlatives become even more expressed on hard court, and Sinner's results prove that.
Jannik remains the man to beat on hard as he seeks title defenses in Cincinnati and New York, crucial events for his year-end no.1 hopes. The US Open approaches, and all eyes will be on the defending champion.

The last player to achieve back-to-back titles in New York? Roger Federer in 2008! Sinner will try to join the legend on that list, and it will be tough to stop him if he presents his A-game.
