Heading into Madrid on the back of a 27-2 W/L record this season, Sinner kicked off his campaign in style with an emphatic 6-0, 6-3 victory over compatriot Lorenzo Sonego in the second round. He carried that good form into the following round, beating Pavel Kotov 6-2, 7-5.
Up against the hard-hitting Karen Khachanov in the fourth round, Sinner overcame a one-set deficit en route to a gritty 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 win to secure his first quarter-final berth in Madrid.
The Italian is three wins away from just his second title on clay and third Masters title overall.
