It’s hard to see anyone beating Sinner at Roland Garros at this level.
Sinner has lost to someone other than Alcaraz in a major since Wimbledon in 2024 – Djokovic in this year’s Australian Open semi-finals.
The 24-time major champion rolled back the years, showing just how much soul and heart he has to beat anyone.
But as he turns 39 on Saturday, does he still have the physical ability to walk on clay?
That Djokovic remains the most compelling challenger to Sinner is a damning indictment on the rest of the men’s tour.
Many of the players expected to challenge Sinner are flocking in, with a glance at the leading French Open seeds offering little suggestion that he could be beaten.
German second seed Alexander Zverev appeared to have been beaten by Siner before he even got on court, showing his lack of competition as he lost 6-1 6-2 in the Madrid final.
Canadian fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliasime has fallen short of his best form this year, while American pair Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz – seeded fifth and seventh – have been hampered by injuries.
It’s funny to see that sixth seed Medvedev has never been shy about showing his disdain for clay as he has been in good form recently – and the European swing has begun. Losing 6-0 6-0 in Monte Carlo.
“I always say that sport is sport. So (the sinner) can lose,” said Medvedev, famously calling the red dirt “for dogs”.
“Every round someone is on the other side of the court trying their best to beat him.”
