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

Jannik Sinner has made his way into yet another Masters 1000 final, this time turning the Madrid Open into his own personal stage.

It’s been another impressive run from the world number one, who will now take on Alexander Zverev in the final.

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

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. Federer took until age 30 to play his first Paris final.

Sinner will celebrate his own 25th birthday later this year.

Jannik Sinner not ready to compare himself to the Big Three

While the numbers may tell one story, Sinner has always been clear that he doesn’t see himself on the same level as Federer, Nadal or Djokovic.

Just last week, he echoed that view again when asked about his growing list of achievements, especially in Masters 1000 events.

Sinner argued: “I cannot compare myself with these names. They did so much stuff in their careers, I’m just at the beginning. They are at a different level.

“For me, I’m happy to be here. I’m happy to play as many matches as possible. But what they did is something else.”
