The Italian's win against compatriot Musetti was his 26th on hard court this season and with that he joined Novak Djokovic as well as Ivan Lendl for the longest win streak. Sinner currently is third on the list behind all-time greats Djokovic (27 hard court wins in a season) and Roger Federer (40 wins).
If Sinner manages to reach the final, he'll face either Carlos Alacarz or Djokovic and he had defeated both of them in Wimbledon 2025 near two months ago to win the title.
