Sinner has just closed a period of sublime competition when he consecutively won Masters 1000 tournaments including Indian Wells, Miami and most recently Monte-Carlo after winning against Carlos Alcaraz in the final. This series of titles helps the Italian player return to the world No. 1 position on the ATP rankings.
Notably, Sinner became the second player in history, after Novak Djokovic, to win all three Masters 1000 titles at the beginning of the season in the same year, showing his very high stability in the early stages of the 2026 season.
However, the continuous competition density also poses a physical challenge for the 24-year-old player. After the Monte-Carlo championship, Sinner admitted to feeling tired but still satisfied with his ability to maintain form in a long streak of matches.
In the context of the clay court season entering its peak, international media said that Sinner is likely to continue playing in Madrid or Rome to prepare for Roland Garros, but the specific schedule can still be adjusted depending on the fitness assessment of the coaching staff.
Sinner's decision is predicted to directly affect the ATP No. 1 competition with Alcaraz, as the point gap between the two players is still very close in the transition to the clay court season.
