Masters 1000: Sinner Catches Up to Alcaraz in Number of Quarterfinals

Le 31/10/2025 à 13h52 par Arthur Millot

At just 24 years old, Jannik Sinner joins Carlos Alcaraz with 18 Masters 1000 quarterfinals.

Thanks to his victory over Cerundolo (7-5, 6-1) in the round of 16 at the Rolex Paris Masters, the Italian has equaled Carlos Alcaraz's total number of Masters 1000 quarterfinal qualifications.

Since his breakthrough on the tour, the Italian prodigy has continuously improved, becoming one of the most feared players in the world. And this season, his consistency is impressive: two Grand Slam titles, two ATP 500 trophies, and four finals (twice in Majors and twice in Masters 1000).

Finally, this long-distance duel between Sinner and Alcaraz continues to animate the men's tour. From Rome to the US Open, their rivalry is enduring. While the Spaniard shines with his fire and explosiveness, the Italian impresses with his control and steady progress.

But while the Spaniard made an early exit in Paris, the path seems open for the Italian, who will face Shelton for a spot in the semifinals.
