Tennis: Sinner has broken Djokovic's record in Rome

Jannik Sinner made history on Thursday at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, when he achieved his 32nd consecutive victory at an ATP Masters 1000 tournament, a record that allowed him to surpass Novak Djokovic in the number of consecutive victories at this level.

The world number one qualified for the semifinals of the WTA 1,000 tournament in Rome after a convincing victory against Russian Andrey Rublev, with a score of 6-2, 6-4.

"I am satisfied. But now I am focused on tomorrow's semifinal. I need to recover physically and I feel that I have played a lot lately, because it will be a very difficult match. Playing in the evening will also be more physically demanding, and if it doesn't go well, I will have more time to recover for Paris, which is my main goal of the season," he said at the press conference after the victory over the Russian.
