Jannik Sinner heads into Roland Garros with a chance to match a rare milestone. The world No. 1 can become only the second man after Rafael Nadal in 2010 to sweep the three clay-court ATP Masters 1000 events—Monte-Carlo, Madrid, and Rome—and then win the French Open in the same year.
The 24-year-old has ruled the spring clay swing, adding trophies in Monte-Carlo, Madrid, and Rome, where he also completed the Career Golden Masters. He arrives in Paris on a personal-best 29-match winning streak that began at Indian Wells in March and carries a 36-2 season record as he pursues a sixth title of 2026.
Preparing for Success at Roland Garros
Sinner addressed concerns about fatigue in his pre-tournament press conference on Friday, saying he has tailored his training to balance rest and intensity so he can be sharp for the opening round. After winning Rome, he spent a couple of days with his parents before traveling to Paris on Thursday to continue recovery and fine-tune preparations.
Last week’s triumph in Rome made Sinner the first Italian champion there since Adriano Panatta in 1976, adding another historic note to a season already packed with milestones.
A title in Paris would also give Sinner the Career Grand Slam. He has won the Australian Open in 2024 and 2025, the US Open in 2024, and Wimbledon in 2025, leaving Roland Garros as the final piece. He came within a point of the trophy last year before losing to Carlos Alcaraz in a memorable final.
Sinner opens against French wild card Clement Tabur and returns to a tournament where his bond with the crowd has grown stronger each year. With his impressive track record and unwavering determination, fans and analysts alike are closely watching to see if Sinner can achieve this remarkable feat at Roland Garros.
