That win also saw him complete the Sunshine Double, taking both Indian Wells and Miami back-to-back without losing a set along the way. His run on hardcourts over the past six months has been remarkable, having now claimed three straight Masters titles.

Sinner has always looked at home on hardcourts since his early days on tour, but there are still three players who notched more wins in their first 300 matches on the surface.

That number puts him above some of the biggest names in the sport, including Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.

Only three players posted a better win percentage on hard courts over their first 300 matches on the tour. Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl and John McEnroe all finished ahead of Sinner in that span, with Connors holding a remarkable 90% win rate. Connors’ dominance was clear during his peak years, winning the US Open five times across nine seasons.

Sinner’s Next Challenge: Translating Hardcourt Success to Clay Sinner will be sorry to see the end of the hardcourt season, given how dominant he’s been over the last six months. The Italian now turns his attention to the clay swing in Europe, starting with the Monte Carlo Masters. It’s a surface he’s admitted isn’t his favourite.
