Overview
- Jannik Sinner beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 in Sunday’s Italian Open final to become only the second man to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 events.
- Sinner enters the French Open on a 29‑match winning streak and has captured six straight Masters titles, including the first five of 2026.
- Alcaraz will miss Paris with a right wrist injury, removing Sinner’s chief rival and strengthening the top seed’s status as favorite.
- Sinner says Paris is his main goal this season and plans a short reset with little to no tennis before heading to Roland Garros later this week.
- He has ruled out a calendar‑year sweep of all nine Masters as unrealistic and may consider Canada after Wimbledon, while analysts warn heat and humidity could test his stamina over best‑of‑five.
