Jannik Sinner has reached a major milestone faster than Federer, Nadal or Djokovic ever did

The 24-year-old keeps setting new standards, and with Carlos Alcaraz out for the rest of the clay season, it feels like there’s no one left to slow him down. His latest achievement comes with a new record. By making it to the Madrid Open final, Sinner has put together a stretch that even surpasses what we saw from any member of the Big Three at their peak.
Jannik Sinner reaches historic milestone faster than the Big Three Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images Sinner had already matched a record held by Federer and Nadal earlier in the week, and now he’s gone one better, surpassing both of them along with Djokovic. It’s another mark of just how impressive his current run has been. His win over Arthur Fils completed the set, as he has now reached the final of all nine Masters 1000 events.
Madrid, Indian Wells, and Monte Carlo were the only ones missing from his resume heading into 2026. But this year alone, he’s put that right by making it to each one. And with a chance to lift another title tomorrow, there’s no sign of him slowing down.
What stands out even more is that Sinner managed it faster than any member of the Big Three did. Djokovic didn’t reach his first Shanghai final until he was 25 in 2012. Nadal made it to Cincinnati at 27.
