The 24-year-old Italian has not lost since January, when Novak Djokovic stunned him in the Australian Open semifinals in a breathtaking five-set encounter. Since then, the world number one has swept everything in his path: Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo, Madrid, Rome. At every stop, the same ruthless precision. During his 29-match winning streak, Sinner has dropped just three sets, two of them in tiebreaks.
The Rome triumph holds special significance. By defeating Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 in the final on May 17, Sinner became the youngest player in history to win all nine Masters 1000 titles, joining Djokovic as the only men to achieve the feat. A statistic that captures the scale of his current dominance.
Roland-Garros remains the sole Grand Slam missing from his trophy cabinet. Winner of the Australian Open (2024, 2025), Wimbledon (2025) and the US Open (2024), Sinner has conquered every major except Paris. Clay, once considered his least natural surface, holds no more mysteries after his triumphs in Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome this season.
The absence of Carlos Alcaraz, sidelined with a wrist injury, reshapes the hierarchy. The only player capable of beating Sinner in 2024 and 2025 will not be there to stand in his way. Alexander Zverev, the second seed, and Djokovic, seeded third at 39, remain formidable opponents. But neither possesses the Italian''s current consistency.
The draw ceremony, scheduled for Thursday at 2pm, will reveal Sinner''s potential path toward the ultimate achievement. If the Italian maintains his level, Roland-Garros 2026 could enter the history books as the tournament where a new member joined the exclusive career Grand Slam club.
