Jannik Sinner secured his place in the quarterfinals of the ATP 1000 Rome Masters for the third time in his career, defeating qualifier Andrea Pellegrino in straight sets on Monday. The all-Italian clash saw Sinner dominate from the start, breaking early to build a 4-0 lead in the first set and closing it out 6-2. In the second set, after the first six games went with serve, Sinner stepped up his game, breaking Pellegrino twice—including in a crucial service game for his opponent—to seal the match 6-2, 6-3. The victory extends Sinner’s strong run on home soil as he continues his quest for a first Rome title.
