- Sinner surpassed Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who each won four consecutive Masters 1,000 tournaments, marking a new record in men's tennis.
- Djokovic won five consecutive Masters titles twice but did not compete in all events during those streaks, while Sinner has done so by winning every consecutive tournament played.
- Djokovic remains the only player to have completed a career 'Golden Masters' by winning all nine Masters titles, a feat Sinner could achieve if he wins the upcoming Rome Masters.
