Jannik Sinner has won four ATP Masters 1000 titles in his career so far.

Jannik Sinner just keeps rewriting the record books. The world No. 1 has been unstoppable since last year, lifting four Grand Slam trophies and breaking records along the way. Now, his unbeaten run at the Cincinnati Open has carried him into the quarter-finals — and into the company of tennis legends Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

On Wednesday, the Italian star outmaneuvered Adrian Mannarino 6-4, 7-6(4) in straight sets to set up a last-eight clash with Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The win secured his ninth consecutive ATP Masters 1000 quarter-final, making him only the fourth player to achieve the feat since the series was established in 1990.

The 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal leads the chart with 21 straight quarter-finals, followed by Djokovic with 15, Federer with 10, and now Sinner with nine.
