The first installment of “SinCaraz” for 2026 had the two players in a virtual tie in nearly all the ways you can think of.
They had spent exactly the same amount of time on court this week in Monte Carlo.
They had both spent 66 weeks at No. 1. They had both won 26 tournaments in their careers. And they had won the same exact number of points as each other in their rivalry (1,651).
All those ties are broken now, with Sinner prevailing in two tough sets in tough conditions to win his 27th.
