The Martian from San Candido is currently riding an open streak of 14 official matches won consecutively (of which 26 sets were always won consecutively), considering that the first part of the new year as per tradition will always be played on the Italian tennis player's current favorite surface, the hard, It is legitimate to ask this question.
How far can his current streak go considering that his next events will be the Australian Open, Rotterdam, Doha, and Cas permitting, the Sunshine Double, so potentially another 29 matches to be played on hard surfaces before restarting for the European clay season .

I remember that in 2024 he opened the season by winning the first 16 games, so if he did the same he could reach 30 consecutive victories.
At the moment his record of consecutive matches won is 19, i.e. the 3 victories in the Davis Cup in 2023 plus the 16 at the beginning of 2024.

I reiterate the question now that the streak has brought it to 21, and also considering that we have the date of the CAS appeal ruling.
So Sinner is sure that he will play Rotterdam, Doha, Indian Wells and Miami as scheduled.
That's about 22 potential matches still to be played on his favorite surface before the switch to clay.

Yes, objectively, the biggest obstacle is Indian Wells, the only tournament of the next 3 where I think he won't start as the favorite.
Although in Doha I don't remember where, but I had read that the surface is quite slow.
If this were the case it would obviously give more advantage to Alcaraz and more disadvantage to Sinner, without obviously underestimating the usual Djokovic.
However, before the Cas sentence, which here too if I'm not mistaken, Sinner's entourage can also ask that it be issued no earlier than one month after the trial, ergo, even after the trial he could continue to play even if he would be found guilty (due to strict liability) until the official announcement of the sentence.
I was saying... before the CAS trial, he will certainly play 3 tournaments which are Doha, Indian Wells and Miami, therefore 17 potential matches.

Absolutely not.
Even if he is disqualified, the streak will end when he loses the first match and not when he is eventually disqualified.
If they were to disqualify him with his winning streak still open, that streak will be updated once any disqualification ends.

So you predict that wins Doha and then in Indian Wells he goes out in the fourth round (having the bye in the first round).

Well... I say that if the streak is interrupted it will be either in the semi-finals or in the final in one of the next tournaments, unless, in Indian Wells, you already meet someone like Djokovic in the quarter-finals, which could happen as the Serbian is currently the presumable sixth seed.
Players ranked outside the top 10 who can beat him right now I find it hard to think of, after all from the 2023 Shanghai tournament to today, the only player outside the top 10 capable of beating him was Tsitsipas, but he was on clay and it also required a big refereeing oversight.
Then oh, never say never in life, sooner or later it will surely happen again that a player outside the top 10 beats him, it's also a question of calculating the probabilities.

Assuming no withdrawals. His biggest task will be IW. But I believe he will succeed this year.

Out of curiosity, which option did you vote for in the poll (I often forget to put the option that makes it visible who the vote belongs to)?

Let me guess, all-time record (which in this case currently belongs to Borg with 49). :)

If you think that Doha, Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo win, it's not like we're very far from that all-time record, considering that to the 43 potential consecutive victories almost by default we need to add 2/3 affordable opening rounds in the following tournament (Madrid?).

Anyway, jokes aside, I'm really curious to see how far this streak will extend.
Always keep an eye on Alcaraz, the player who first interrupted his 19-win streak between 2023 and 2024, then the 15-win streak between Cincinnati and Beijing last year, the only defeat in the last 37 games played.
 
I think that Sinner can win next week and IW. But he will then be gassed and then get bumped in the Miami final.

Sinner's streak will end at 36; a very respectable number.

That said, Sinner has been incredible during his 21 match winning streak. He's held serve 95.6% of the time. And he's only lost 3 sets in those 21 matches while putting up a respectable 12.6% ace rate.

The only two guys who can challenge him are Djokovic and Alcaraz. He has reached that high level now. We saw what Sinner did to Zverev.
 
I remember that during Djokovic's famous streak in 2011 there were always two countdowns, the one relating to the record of consecutive victories at the beginning of the season which still belongs to McEnroe in 1984, and the absolute one of Vilas. For this reason I ask, but was the record that now belongs to Borg (if I'm not mistaken the two longest winning streaks belonging to him) only made official in retrospect, or were my memories of Vilas's alleged record streak just vague memories?

Vilas has the winning streak, because walkover losses (like Borg had) end any winning streaks. Vilas won 46 matches in a row from July 1977 to October 1977.

Borg, from March 1978 to September 1978, won 13 matches in a row, then had a walkover loss, won another match, then had another walkover loss, then won 36 matches in a row, before losing the 1978 US Open final to Connors.

Borg again, from September 1979 to May 1980, won 7 matches in a row, then had a walkover loss, then won 41 matches in a row, before losing to Vilas at the 1980 Nations Cup in Dusseldorf.

Borg won 50 matches in a row that he actually played from March 1978 to September 1978, and won 48 matches in a row that he actually played from September 1979 to May 1980, but walkover losses snap any winning streak. Some people don't think that a walkover loss should snap a winning streak.

Walkover losses don't count on head-to-heads or win-loss records, but they do end any winning streaks.

I voted greater than Djokovic 2011
 
Dropshot777 said:
Likely. I see Djokovic 2011 as overrated and not leagues ahead of Novak 2015 or 2023. Based off Sinner’s 2024 level and the Australian Open results, he seems far more dominant than Djokovic in 2011.

And Carlos ain’t sniffing Nadal’s level on clay. I could very well see Sinner picking up 2 M1000 titles on clay. Carlos is gonna have to sweat it out to defend RG. If anyone is beating Carlos at RG, it’s surely Sinner.

Ok thanks, so the real record is precisely that of Vilas.

That’s right. But I think the schedule of the 3 events is too taxing on the body. To go from a hard surface like those 3, and win them, then straight to MC is difficult. Usually MC is for players who dont do great during the double (eg. Tsitsipas)

I'll reply here so as not to go off topic in the other thread.

Let's see, your hypothesis makes sense, but remember that there is always a trial looming, and he may need to put hay in the farm before the sentence.
If I were him, after the sunshine double I would do Monte Carlo and then skip Madrid, taking advantage of the period from Monte Carlo to Rome to properly finalize the clay season.

This,MC plays like RG and Madrid is useless as far as RG preparation is concerned.

Well I guess you have a point. But I feel the scheduling of events is too close and he will not play mc if he wins the prior 3. If he had defended Rotterdam and played the sunshine double then I could see him playing MC

It is normal, the Serbian wolf is already of an advanced age and knows that the young sinner will be a very, very difficult obstacle for him to overcome from now until the end of his career.

Did he retire against Zverev at the AO out of fear that his match winning streak in AO finals would’ve been broken by the hands of Sinner?

Did he retire to preserve his legacy?

I don't know, but even if he had somehow managed to beat the lanky German player, Djokovic would have lost his first ever final at his most successful Major tournament to Sinner, so, subconsciously, perhaps he knew that he wouldn't be able to cope with such a challenge in the decisive match.

If he had lost the final, would it give Sinner a significant mental advantage over the Serbian legend that in every encounter from now until his inevitable retirement would be very one sided?

Sinner, or Zverev who is more likely to land in a semi with Carlos. Even Ruud could have a chance on a good day for him and bad one for Carlos.
