Sinner wins Italian Open to complete career Golden Masters

Jannik Sinner won the Italian Open on May 18, 2026, defeating Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 in the final to complete the career Golden Masters — becoming only the second man after Novak Djokovic to win all nine Masters 1000 events. The victory also made Sinner the first Italian man to win the Rome tournament since Adriano Panatta in 1976. The world No. 1 now enters the French Open as the favourite, with Carlos Alcaraz sidelined through injury.
