"In Sequential Matches, Sinner Embarrasses Rivals in Domestic Rome Tournament - Baranka"
Cashing In: Jannik Sinner's Phenomenal Run in Rome
Against all odds, local tennis ace and world number one sensation Janik Sinner is giving American Tommy Paul, currently ranked at 11, a run for his money in the second semifinal of the swanky tournament in Rome. While the scores are tied one set each, with Paul bagging the opening set 6:1 and Sinner hitting a comeback of 6:0, it's the latter who's on a roll.
This isn't a fluke. Yesterday, the Italian phenomenally outclassed seventh-ranked Norwegian Casper Ruud, winning 6:0, 6:1. Incredibly, Sinner hasn't lost a single set in his last seven matches, thanks to his winning streak of a staggering 28 matches.
In their head-to-head, Sinner also leads Paul (3:1). The victor of today's match will face off against Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the final.

Fun Fact: According to recent reports, Sinner's spectacular winning streak, dating back to October 2024, had steered him to triumphs against top guns like Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev, before the streak finally ended at the hands of Alcaraz during the 2025 Italian Open final[1][3]. During his Roman sojourn, the Italian had an unbeaten streak of 11 matches and 24 sets against Top 10 rivals prior to his loss to Alcaraz[4]. However, remember, Sinner's recent success doesn't necessarily guarantee a trophy in Rome this year, as Alcaraz showed during their last matchup[1][5].
Bookmakers are regularly adjusting their odds for the Rome tournament, given Jannik Sinner's impressive form in sports like tennis, with his recent undefeated streak in the tournament.
The increased attention on Sinner's performance in the tournament has also sparked discussions about potential betting trends in upcoming sports events, including tennis matches.
