All candidates for success look at each other Paris to check what the rivals think about the second week of the competition, when the applicants must improve their tennis if they want to reach the semifinals or the final and eventually attack the title, vacated by defeat due to damage to Rafael Nadal.

Sinner, 21, is one of those players capable of giving war to anyone. In fact, he and the Danish Holger Rune are currently emerging as the two most dangerous generational partners for Carlos Alcaraz, no. 1 in 20 years old. Theirs, Novak Djokovic, Daniel Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas the new Roland Garros champion must emerge.

Alcaraz and Sinner have met six times, with the distribution of victories (3-3), and their rivalry could be one of the most interesting in the coming years. Without further ado, this season the Murcian defeated the Italian in the semifinals of Indian Wells and Jannik took revenge in the same round as the next Masters 1,000 in Miami.

The sinner argued the fourth time the grand slam on clay with the aim of improving on the quarterfinals of his debut, in 2020, then eliminated by Nadal, who beat him again in the round of 16 in 2021. Last year he also fell in the round of 16 against the Russian Andrei Rublev.

Jannik started the clay tour reaching the semifinals of Monte Carlo (losing to Rune), but withdrew in the Godó quarterfinals because he felt physical discomfort after a season with many games: champion in montpellierending with Rotterdamsemifinals in Indian Wells and final in Miami.

The sinner preferred to skip too Madrid and reappeared Romewhere he lost in the round of 16 against the Argentine Francisco Cerundolo. His first contact with Roland Garros was a pleasant one.
