Jannik Sinner continued his winning run with his eighth consecutive victory on Thursday, defeating Jan-Lennard Struff 6-4, 6-2 for a spot in the Monte Carlo Masters quarter-finals.
The world No. 2 seeking his fourth trophy of the season after Melbourne, Rotterdam and Miami, is bidding to lift the title in the principality for the first time after reaching last year’s semi-finals.
The Italian now owns 24 victories in 2024 after duplicating his defeat of the German a month ago in Indian Wells.
“He’s a very dangerous player,” Sinner said of his 25th-ranked opponent. “I know it would be really tough.
