Jannik Sinner extended an uninterrupted run of dominance at Masters 1000 level, setting a new record for consecutive sets won at that tournament tier.

By beating Corentin Moutet in the third round of the Miami Open, 6-1, 6-4, Sinner reached 26 straight sets won at Masters 1000 events, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s previous mark of 24 set wins in a row from 2016. The victory moves the Italian ahead in the record books for streaks that date back to 1990, when Masters-level tournaments began.

Sinner’s run includes flawless performances at the two most recent Masters 1000 tournaments. He captured Paris last fall without dropping a set (10-0) and followed that by sweeping Indian Wells last week (12-0). In Miami, he tied Djokovic’s long-standing record two days earlier with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Damir Dzumhur in his opening match at the event. The straight-sets win over Moutet then took him past the previous high-water mark.

The streak reflects consecutive completed sets won at Masters 1000 events; note that a walkover loss would end the run. With the Miami Open still under way, Sinner’s sequence now stands as the longest such streak in Masters 1000 history.

Coco Gauff advanced to her first Miami Open quarterfinal after a three-set win over Sorana Cirstea, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, at the WTA 1000 event. Having recovered from a set down to win her first two matches in the tournament, Gauff again battled through a deciding set to secure the last-eight berth.

This victory delivered two milestones for Gauff. It marks the first time she has reached the Miami quarterfinals. She had previously been stopped in the fourth round three times: in 2022 by Iga Swiatek, in 2024 by Caroline Garcia, and in 2025 by Magda Linette.

More significantly, the result completes a career set of quarterfinal appearances across all 10 WTA 1000 events on the current calendar. Miami had been the only tournament missing from that list, and Gauff filled that gap with Monday’s win.

The timing underlines the scale of the achievement. Gauff turned 22 just 10 days ago, and reaching quarterfinals or better at every WTA 1000 event by that age is an uncommon feat.

Gauff’s run in Miami also leaves her poised for further progress at the WTA 1000 level. She is now a small number of wins away from converting her quarterfinal collection into a set of semifinals. At present she has not yet reached the semifinals at Doha, Miami, or Canada, and Miami offers the immediate opportunity to add another semifinal appearance.

The match against Cirstea capped a week in which Gauff repeatedly came from behind to prevail, reinforcing her form at a high tier of the tour. With the quarterfinal reached, she will carry momentum into her next match and the chance to extend both her Miami and overall WTA 1000 records.

Talia Gibson has turned the Sunshine Double into the stage for a breakout run. The 21-year-old Australian, a qualifier, dismantled No. 18 seed Iva Jovic 6-2, 6-2 in 1:13, hitting fierce backhand returns and powerful serving (62% of first serves in play and winning 81% of Jovic’s second-serve points). The victory sets up a fourth-round meeting with No. 3 seed Elena Rybakina, who advanced with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Marta Kostyuk.

Gibson’s Miami performance added to the profile she built at Indian Wells, where she became the youngest woman in seven years to reach the quarterfinals at a 1000-level event. Her win over Jovic was her fifth over a Top 20 player in two weeks, the previous scalp a one-sided win over No. 15 Naomi Osaka. Across the past three weeks she has won 11 of 12 matches: six at Indian Wells (two in qualifying and four in the main draw) and five in Miami (two in qualifying and three in the main draw).

Her rise has been rapid. At the start of the year Gibson had just two WTA main-draw wins and endured a 1-4 run through the Australian Open. A run of form in smaller WTA 75 and WTA 100 events produced 10 wins in 12 matches heading into Indian Wells and a confidence boost she described plainly: “I think every match I have just given myself more confidence in being able to go out there and, you know, have that extra belief that I can do this. And here we are.”

Observers have noted Gibson’s composed presence on court — calm between points, upright posture, little outward emotion — and her return posture that becomes aggressively forward when the ball is in play. After her Indian Wells upset she said she felt “extremely calm” throughout the match, and thus able to “freely swing.” During the Miami match commentator Vicky Duval remarked, “Gibson is a train that cannot be stopped for the moment.” Later Duval concluded, “The more I watch Gibson, the more I think she has Top 10 potential.”
