Jannik Sinner has a chance to make history at the Italian Open, where he can become the first player to complete the Career Golden Masters.
Sinner has already won five of the nine ATP Masters 1000 titles and could complete the set in Rome, where he’s widely seen as the favourite.

He’s been on an incredible run lately and hasn’t lost a match since his quarterfinal exit at the Qatar Open earlier this season.

Rusedski, appearing on Off Court with Greg, shared: “Some people are talking about Sinner’s dominance, but some people are saying, is this bad for the game?
“You know, there’s a lot of people on social media or on podcasts talking about it. I think it’s quite incredible what he’s doing.
“I mean, five Masters Series in a row for this year, hasn’t dropped barely any sets in them, winning them and now coming to Rome to complete the set of nine.

“So personally, I love to see what he’s doing. He’s just playing big-time tennis and he starts up tomorrow and it is gonna be loud when he steps on court.
Sinner will be looking to add his third Masters 1000 title in 2024 at the Italian Open after wins in Miami and Monte Carlo earlier this year.

Sinner made his return to the tournament after serving a three-month suspension, showing no signs of rust in his game.
