Jannik Sinner enters the ATP Madrid semi-final against Alexander Zverev in outstanding form, having claimed victory in 39 of his last 40 matches and dropping just one set in Madrid. Sinner’s dominant head-to-head—winning the last eight encounters—makes him the clear favorite, while Zverev has been inconsistent against top players this season. The recommendation is to back Sinner to win again, likely in straight sets. Live streaming details are available for fans wanting to catch all the action online.

Sinner on Fire


Jannik Sinner has won 22 consecutive matches, 20 of those victories coming in straight sets. He didn’t drop a set in winning titles in Indian Wells and Miami.

The World No.1 won in Monte Carlo where he defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the final. He lost a set in his opening match in Madrid, defeating Benjamin Bonzi 6-7 6-1 6-4.

The Italian hasn’t been troubled since, defeating lmer Moller 6-2 6-3, Cameron Norrie 6-2 7-5, Rafael Jodar 6-2 7-6 and Arthur Fils 6-2 6-4. His serve has been broken only twice in Spain.

The 24-year-old talked after the victory over Fils: “I tried to be very aggressive. I felt very comfortable on the return. In the second set, he started to serve better, so it was more difficult.

“But I’m very happy about the general performance today. I’m trying to play the best possible tennis, but today was a very good day in the office.”

Zverev Into First 2026 Final


Alexander Zverev lost five straight semi-finals this year, four of them against Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner. He got to another semi in Munich where he suffered a 6-3 6-3 defeat to Flavio Cobolli.

The German got through two tough matches in Madrid, getting past Mariano Navone in 3 sets before a 6-3 7-6 victory over Terence Atmane. He lost his serve early in the 3rd set against Jakub Mensik but recovered to advance 6-4 6-7 6-3.

The 29-year-old got some revenge on Cobolli, saving two break points in a 6-1 6-4 victory. He didn’t allow a break point in a 6-2 7-5 semi-final victory over Alexander Blockx.

Verdict

Jannik Sinner beat 6-1 6-4 in Monte Carlo last month and nothing since then suggests a different outcome in Madrid. The World No.1 can maintain his form and add another title to his collection.
