Shattering a plethora of records along the way, Sinner achieved the biggest success of his young career yet. One of these records also involves the great Rafael Nadal.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jannik Sinner Second Only to Rafael Nadal After 100 Grand Slam Matches<\/h2><p>Sinner was coincidentally playing his 100th Grand Slam match in the Wimbledon 2025 final. The Italian, who turned pro in 2018, dropped the first set in his quest for a fourth major championship. He has previously acquired two Australian Open trophies alongside the US Open in 2024. By coming back to win on Centre Court vs Alcaraz, the top seed capped off No. 100 in style.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Only Rafa Nadal has more wins than Jannik Sinner in their first 100 Grand Slam matches &#129327;<br><br>&#127934; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OptaAce?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@OptaAce<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q9MnVMGOz4\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/q9MnVMGOz4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TNT Sports (@tntsports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tntsports\/status\/1945223765677211904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>With 81 wins out of his first 100 matches at the majors, Jannik Sinner ranks second among the all-time most successful men&rsquo;s athletes.
