Sinner to face Zverev in Madrid Open final
Top-ranked Jannik Sinner has extended his winning streak to 22 matches by beating Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-4 and reached his first Madrid Open final.
Sinner will face No. 3 Alexander Zverev in a fifth consecutive Masters 1000 tournament.
The German dominated unheralded Belgian Alexander Blockx 6-2, 7-5 in their semifinal.
Sinner’s historic attempt at becoming the first man to win five consecutive Masters 1000s is on the back of beating Zverev in recent semifinals in Paris, Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo without dropping a set.
But Zverev is in familiar territory.
He's reached his fourth final in Madrid, where he's won twice.
