Jannik Sinner has not put a foot wrong on the ATP Tour since February.
After his quarterfinal exit at the Qatar Open, the Italian has won four straight ATP Masters 1000 tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo and Madrid.
Sinner made history at the Madrid Open by becoming the first man to win five consecutive Masters crowns, with his streak at the premium level dating back to Paris 2025.
Can any of these four players stop Jannik Sinner winning the French Open this year?
Is there anyone else you think could be a threat to Sinner?
Analysing his game, former US Open finalist Greg Rusedski said the world number one is distancing himself even further from the rest of the tour.

“Sinner is looking very, very good,” said Rusedski in an episode of ‘Off Court with Greg‘.
“He seems like he’s distancing himself a little bit from the pack. I watched him in practice. He’s super motivated.
“I mean, he’s impressive. And I think if you’re going to beat someone like Sinner, you have to do something different.

“You have to be willing to serve and volley. You have to come forward. You have to bring him in. If you try to play his game, forget about it.”
Sinner has suffered just two losses this year. One to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, and the other to Jakub Mensik in Doha.
Greg Rusedski discusses the success of Jannik Sinner’s team
Discussing Sinner’s team, Rusedski said: “I think this is where Cahill manages the team so well and Vagnozzi. If you look at him, he’s very consistent. Same agent. He has the person who does the media.
“He has the physical trainer. He went back to his old physical trainer. He has his physio. I think it’s a unit.
“We talked about communication and everybody being on the same page and having those meetings and having that understanding.
“And that’s why Sinner is so good, because he says, I only listen to my team. And if he feels like someone’s not all in or someone’s breaking the code that he has for the team, they’re out rather quickly.
“So he’s the boss. He’s controlling it. And there’s not many changes of staff going on as well. So it’s also consistency.
“And that’s what he’s done exceptionally well. Because remember, at one stage, he had Novak’s physical team with the physio. And then all of a sudden, he went back to his old one. So it’s all those little things. And the teams are getting bigger because of the money. That’s the main thing.”
Darren Cahill was initially due to leave Sinner’s team at the end of the 2025 season, but looks to be set to carry out the rest of the 2026 campaign in the entourage.
