ROME \u2013 Jannik Sinner\u2019s<\/a> winning streak reached 25 matches after beating Alexei Popyrin 6-2, 6-0 before his home fans in the third round of the Italian Open<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

The top-ranked Sinner set the tone when he broke 60th-ranked Popyrin in the opening game.<\/p>\n

Sinner is heavily favored to win the Rome tournament with Carlos Alcaraz sidelined<\/a> due to a right wrist injury.<\/p>\n

Sinner hasn\u2019t lost since Feb. 19, to Jakub Mensik in the Qatar Open quarterfinals. He\u2019ll next face a fellow Italian, qualifier Andrea Pellegrino, who beat Frances Tiafoe.<\/p>\n

If Sinner raises the trophy in Rome, he\u2019ll become the second man after Novak Djokovic to triumph at all nine Masters 1000 events. Djokovic has won each event at least twice.<\/p>\n

Sinner has won five straight Masters events and has the second-most consecutive wins at that level with 30. Djokovic has the record of 31.<\/p>\n

Gauff saves match point<\/p>\n

Earlier, Coco Gauff saved a match point in the second set of a 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 victory over fellow American Iva Jovic to reach the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

Gauff also survived in the previous round from falling behind by two breaks in the third set against Solana Sierra.<\/p>\n

Gauff reached the Rome final last year and is preparing to defend her French Open title.<\/p>\n

Roland Garros starts on May 24.<\/p>\n
