Sinner could join Federer as the only players in the open era who have won a set in every single match they have played during a particular season.
Sinner has won a set in every match he has played since losing last year to Djokovic at the Tour Finals. He’s also won 16 sets in a row
Federer won a set in every match in 2005 And 3/4 of the way through 2006 before losing in straight sets to Andy Murray in Cincinnati.
Borg was not defeated in straight sets in 1979, but he did retire in a match without winning it.
McEnroe went the entire season in 1984 without losing a magistrate set until the Davis cup match at the very end of the season.
I posted this thread about the record of matches played in a row without losing in straight sets.

Record for consecutive matches played without losing in straight sets: Alcaraz hasn’t lost in straight sets in nearly a Year
Alcaraz always finds a way to make it a battle, amd he is incredibly difficult to defeat easily. He’s been a betting favorite in just about every match this season in part becuse of this. He’s currently at 65 straight matches, one of the longest streaks in the ATP ranking era. I went through...

Sinner might have the highest floor since Federer.
Sinner right now might have the HIGHEST FLOOR level since Peak Fed
It is very, very, very difficult to go the entire season without having some match in which things don’t work out, the other player is playing too good, etc., etc. When this happens, you take a beating. Sinner hasn’t taken a real beating all year because his floor level game is so sound and...
