Jannik Sinner extended his winning streak at the Madrid Open with a smooth 6-2, 6-3 victory over Danish qualifier Elmer Moller on Sunday. This win marked his 19th consecutive match and 24th straight Masters 1000 tournament win since March’s Indian Wells.
Sinner struggled only once late in the opening set to secure a last-16 meeting with Cameron Norrie. He told Tennis TV after the win that serving well was key, maintaining composure throughout the match.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo Musetti overcame Dutch 29th seed Tallon Griekspoor 6-4, 7-5, advancing to face Czech 11th seed Jiri Lehecka in the quarter-finals. Earlier, Elena Rybakina defeated Zheng Qinwen 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 after arguing with umpire Julie Kjendlie over a mark on court deemed correct by electronic system.
Coco Gauff also battled through illness to defeat Sorana Cirstea 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 in two hours and 21 minutes. She will face Noskova in the round of 16. However, fellow American Jessica Pegula was upset by Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk 6-1, 6-4.
