Sinner’s Sunshine Double streak continues to shine. The Italian star is seeing success, reflected in his apparel. He has now won 26 consecutive sets in Masters 1000 events, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s previous record of 24, and advanced to the quarterfinals in Miami. His eighth-round match against Corentin Moutet (33) was decisive, ending with a score of 6-1, 6-4.
His path forward will see him face 21-year-classic American Alex Michelsen (40 ATP), who overcame Alejandro Tabilo (41) of Chile with a comeback victory of 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Michelsen became the third American since 2000 to reach at least the quarterfinals at both Indian Wells and Miami in the same season. The two will meet for the third time, always in the United States; Sinner has won both previous encounters in 2024, at Cincinnati and the US Open, without dropping a single set.
The dominant performance in Miami further solidifies Sinner’s position as a top contender on the hard court circuit. This latest victory builds on his impressive 2024 season, which included major titles at the Australian Open and the US Open.
