Jannik Sinner’s stunning confession has fans freaking out — Is Carlos Alcaraz or Alexander Zverev next?

Jannik Sinner has kept his grip on the ATP Tour, recently adding a sixth straight Masters 1000 title to his growing list of achievements.

The world number one remains the leading force in men’s tennis right now, while Carlos Alcaraz’s absence is still being felt across the tour.

Alcaraz won’t be available for Wimbledon due to a wrist problem that already forced him out of Roland Garros earlier this year.

Sinner, meanwhile, is heavily favoured to take home the title in Paris – a win that would see him complete the career Grand Slam, matching Alcaraz’s feat from earlier this year.

More concerning for his challengers and everyone else on tour, Sinner has hinted that he still hasn’t reached his ceiling. He believes there’s even more to come.

Jannik Sinner’s take on his own game is a warning for Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev

Speaking to L’Equipe, with comments translated from French, Sinner said: “I don’t think you can be at 100% of your potential at 24. I aim to be there in a few years.”

Sinner didn’t hold back when explaining what the best version of him would look like: “A player who serves very well. Aggressive while also being able to read every situation. But I don’t have the power to predict the future.”

Sinner already tops the ATP in serving stats, and that assessment won’t do much to lift the spirits of Alcaraz or Alexander Zverev, who sits just behind them in the rankings.

Zverev has reached three Grand Slam finals, including one at Roland Garros, and stands out as Sinner’s main competition outside of Alcaraz.

You could still make a case for Novak Djokovic being part of that discussion. But with Djokovic nearing his 39th birthday and Sinner only just starting out at 24, it feels like things are heading in a new direction.

Tim Henman names Jannik Sinner’s biggest challenge at Roland Garros

Sinner is just 24, but his CV already puts him among the game’s best. He has four Grand Slam titles and two runner-up finishes, along with 29 ATP titles. He has four Grand Slam titles to his name, having also lost two finals, while his current ATP title tally sits at 29.

Another piece of silverware could be added at Roland Garros, where he is considered the strong favourite to come out on top in the eyes of Tim Henman.

Henman told TNT Sports: “If it’s Sinner against the field, and if you give me the choice of Sinner or the other 127, I’ll take Sinner every day of the week,” said Henman, as quoted by TNT Sports.

“He’s playing that well, and he’s that confident. I think that his challenge is physical; that’s the only sort of way I can see him losing, if he were to get injured or ill.

The former British number one continued: “Best of five sets, it’s going to be, can somebody win a set? Yeah, they can win a set. Can they win two sets? I think it’s pretty unlikely. Can they win three sets? I don’t see it.

“I haven’t seen this sort of clear favourite at the French Open since Rafa [Nadal].”

Nadal owns a record 14 Roland Garros titles across his career – still comfortably an all-time high – with Novak Djokovic second with three trophies in Paris.
