Jannik Sinner moved another step closer to a sixth straight Masters 1000 title on Tuesday, seeing off fellow Italian Andrea Pellegrino.
The 22-year-old was always in control, easing to a 6-2, 6-3 win in their fourth-round match at the Italian Open.
Sinner has been on an incredible run at the Masters level recently, barely being challenged by anyone across the tour.
Heâs already been praised for having a âspecial talentâ and will be looking to keep that momentum going when he faces Andrey Rublev, the number 12 seed, in Thursdayâs quarter-final.
If Sinner manages to get past Rublev, heâll set a new ATP record for consecutive Masters titles.

Jannik Sinnerâs win over Pellegrino didnât just move him into the quarter-finals â it also drew him level with Novak Djokovic for consecutive Masters 1000 victories, both sitting on 31 straight wins.
Djokovic set that mark back in his remarkable 2011 season, a year in which he collected titles across Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome and Canada.
Sinnerâs own streak began after an unfortunate retirement against Tallon Griekspoor at the Shanghai Masters in October. Since then, he hasnât lost a match at this level.
The Italian suffered severe cramps amid sweltering conditions in the Chinese city, calling it quits on their contest while trailing 7-6, 5-7, 2-3.
Since then, he has added titles in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Madrid to his name. Now back on home soil in Rome and aiming for a sixth straight trophy, Sinner is showing no signs of slowing down.
