Jannik Sinner’s next tournament appearance on the tour

Following his Wimbledon victory, Sinner will have had an extended period of time to rest before returning to tour-level action.

The gap between Wimbledon and the Canadian Open was pushed forward by a week this year.

Sinner will head to Montreal with a full tank once again, and will attempt to win his sixth consecutive ATP Masters 1000 tournament.

His streak at the premium level dates back to 2025, with his last loss at a Masters event coming at the Shanghai Masters last year.
