Sinner Surpasses Alcaraz in Number of 6-0 Sets This Season
Nine sets won 6-0. In 2025, Jannik Sinner hasn't just been winning matches: he has literally outclassed his opponents.
Thanks to his victory against Altmaier (6-0, 6-2) in the first round of the ATP 500 tournament in Vienna, the Italian once again managed to win a set without conceding a single game. A performance that allowed him to boost an already impressive statistic this season.
Indeed, with nine sets won 6-0, Jannik Sinner becomes the most ruthless player of the ATP season. Each "bagel" (the term used for a 6-0) symbolizes his mental capacity to leave no crumbs for his opponents.
Alcaraz, with eight 6-0 sets, had held the unofficial tour record until now. But this time, the Spaniard has found someone colder than himself.
