Jannik Sinner maintained his iron grip on his Lexus ATP Head2Head rivalry with Alexander Zverev on Saturday to march into his first title match at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.
The No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings raced to a 6-1, 6-4 semi-final victory, his eighth tour-level win in a row against Zverev, with a stunning all-around performance at the clay ATP Masters 1000 event. Now on a 21-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level following his title runs in Paris last November, and Indian Wells and Miami last month. Sinner has become just the fourth man to reach the final at the first three Masters 1000s in a season (after Roger Federer in 2006, Rafael Nadal in 2011 and Novak Djokovic in 2015).
