Early this morning, in the Indian Wells Masters final, Italian player Sinner faced off against former US Open champion, Russian player Medvedev. He withstanded his opponent's challenge and secured victory through two tie-breaks. With this, he accomplished the remarkable achievement of winning championships at all hard court Masters events. So, when did Sinner start winning hard court Masters titles? And which hard court Masters tournaments has he won? Today, let this article take you to explore.

Although he achieved his first Masters main draw victory as early as 2019 at the Rome Masters, from that year until 2022, Sinner only reached one final, at the Miami Masters in 2021. In 2023, he experienced a breakthrough in his career: first, he won five consecutive matches at the Miami Masters, returning to a Masters final after two years; then, he advanced strongly at Wimbledon, reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal. Moreover, Sinner also won his first Masters title at the Rogers Cup. This marks the beginning of his hard court Masters championship victories.

In late March 2024, Sinner, who had just won his first Grand Slam championship, was unstoppable at the Miami Masters. He won six consecutive matches and, after reaching his third Miami final in his career, decisively defeated Bulgarian player Dimitrov, a former ATP Finals champion, to secure his second Masters title.

As time passed, Sinner's pursuit of Masters titles never ceased. In mid-August, after failing to defend his Rogers Cup title, he reflected and regrouped, sailing again at the Cincinnati Masters. This time, he won five consecutive matches and defeated American player Tiafoe, who was making his first Masters final appearance, in straight sets in the final, claiming his third Masters championship. He moved one step closer to the feat of winning all hard court Masters titles.

In early October, Sinner, who had won his second Grand Slam championship, entered the Shanghai Masters as the top seed. He defeated Japanese player Taro Daniel, Argentine player Echeverri who had reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal, and American player Shelton, an ATP 500 tournament champion, advancing to his first Shanghai Masters quarterfinal.

After that, Sinner continued unstoppably, defeating Medvedev, Czech player Machac, and Serbian superstar Djokovic to win the championship. Thus, within just two years, Sinner had already won four hard court Masters titles: Rogers Cup, Miami Masters, Cincinnati Masters, and Shanghai Masters. It seemed that winning all hard court Masters championships was imminent.

However, in 2025, Sinner was suspended for a considerable period. Even after his return, he reached finals at both the Rome Masters and Cincinnati Masters but lost to the strongest player of the post-2000 generation, Alcaraz, finishing as runner-up.

Nevertheless, in late October 2025, Sinner advanced through the Paris Masters, winning the championship, ensuring his 2025 Masters season was not without achievement. And early this morning, he won the Indian Wells Masters title.

Thus, within just four years, Sinner has won all hard court Masters titles. Moreover, he is the first player to win a Masters title without dropping a single set. So, can Sinner reclaim the championship at the upcoming Miami Masters after a year? Let's wait and see. That concludes today's tennis story; we'll continue tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin居士)
