Sinner Joins Elite 10-Win Club, Federer Tops List

Jannik Sinner captured his best-ever Grand Slam result by winning the Wimbledon title, defeating Alexander Zverev in the final. This victory also marked a significant milestone for Zverev, who secured his career-best runner-up finish but extended his losing streak against Sinner to a remarkable 10 matches.

In our family, cinema has always been just work.

Sinner's dominance over Zverev places him in an elite group of players who have achieved 10 consecutive wins against specific opponents. This club is historically led by the "Big Three" of men's tennis. Roger Federer boasts the most impressive record, having defeated 18 different players in 10-match winning streaks throughout his career. Notable among them are former stars like Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, and David Ferrer.

Novak Djokovic follows closely with 17 players in his 10-win streak club, including Stan Wawrinka and Gael Monfils. Rafael Nadal has achieved this feat against six opponents, such as Wawrinka and Richard Gasquet, while Andy Murray has recorded 10-match winning streaks against three players.

We never said to ourselves, 'I want to become famous' or 'I want to be a star.' That was never part of our family culture.

Beyond his victory over Zverev, Sinner also maintains a 10-match winning streak against Alex de Minaur. In contrast, Carlos Alcaraz has not yet recorded a 10-match winning streak against any opponent.

We have to be very careful with the stories we tell – both to ourselves and to others.
