Jannik Sinner turned the Madrid Open final into a short, emphatic statement, beating Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-2 on Sunday, May 3, 2026, to become the first man to win five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles, according to Japan Today. The Madrid weekend also produced a major women’s result, with Marta Kostyuk defeating Mirra Andreeva for the title, as reported by The Japan Times.
Key developments
-
Sinner’s 6-1, 6-2 win over Zverev gave him his first Madrid Open title and extended his winning streak to 23 matches. The ATP’s Madrid results page lists Sinner as defeating Zverev in the men’s singles final by that score.
-
The result made Sinner the first man to claim five straight ATP Masters 1000 events. His run includes Paris last season, followed by Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Madrid in 2026, according to reports carried by Japan Today and other outlets.
-
On the women’s side, Kostyuk beat Andreeva 6-3, 7-5 on Saturday, May 2, to win the Madrid Open and secure the biggest title of her career. The Ukrainian’s Madrid victory followed previous singles titles in Austin and Rouen, according to The Japan Times.
-
The women’s final also drew attention because Kostyuk is Ukrainian and Andreeva is Russian. Reports noted that the players did not shake hands after the match, but the central sporting fact was Kostyuk’s first WTA 1000 title and a straight-sets win over a top opponent.
What to watch
Sinner’s next test is whether this Masters streak carries deeper into the clay season. His Madrid win showed he can dominate elite opposition on clay as well as hard courts, but the next draws and matchups will determine whether the record run becomes a longer stretch of tour control.
For Kostyuk, the immediate question is whether Madrid marks a sustained step into the WTA’s top tier. After titles in Rouen and Madrid, her next results will show whether this is a short surge or the start of a more durable move through the rankings.
