Sinner equals Djokovic record to progress in Rome

Jannik Sinner beat Andrea Pellegrino in straight sets at the Italian Open and matched Novak Djokovic's all-time record for consecutive Masters 1000 wins. The world number one then moved into the Rome semi-finals after also defeating Andrey Rublev 6-2, 6-4. That result kept his winning run going at Masters 1000 level, even as fatigue concerns were mentioned during the tournament. Daniil Medvedev also came from behind to beat Martin Landaluce and set up a meeting with Sinner.
