Jannik Sinner completed a 23rd consecutive victory to win the Madrid Open
Jannik Sinner became the first man to win five consecutive Masters 1000 titles after beating Alexander Zverev in straight sets to win the Madrid Open.
The Italian first seed completed an impressive 6-1 6-2 victory to achieve his record-breaking feat.
Sinner, 24, has won the opening three ATP 1000 events of the season in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo, and also triumphed five months ago in Paris.
He surpassed the mark of Novak Djokovic, who won four consecutive events on three occasions, and Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who triumphed in four straight tournaments in 2013.
