At the 2025 US Open, Jannik Sinner reached a major career milestone that places him alongside Roger Federer in the tennis record books.
According to official statistics, Sinner now holds a 41–9 win–loss record in his first 50 Grand Slam hard-court matches. This is the same record Federer achieved across his first 50 matches on the surface.
The Numbers
- Roger Federer – 41 wins, 9 losses in his first 50 Grand Slam hard-court matches.
- Jannik Sinner – 41 wins, 9 losses in his first 50 Grand Slam hard-court matches.
- Rafael Nadal – 40–10 across his first 50 matches.
- Novak Djokovic – 40–10 across his first 50 matches.
These stats confirm that Sinner has matched Federer for the best-ever start on hard courts at Grand Slams. Nadal and Djokovic, while close, finished one win short of that mark at the same stage.
Federer’s early dominance on hard courts built the foundation for his long success at the US Open and Australian Open. He won 11 titles across those events. For Sinner, matching the 41–9 start shows consistency and the ability to perform at the highest level.
Sinner achieved the milestone after defeating Alexei Popyrin in straight sets at the 2025 US Open. That victory marked his 41st win on hard courts at Grand Slam level.
