Indomitable Sinner
Only one player has the ability to halt Jannik Sinner’s impressive winning streak, and that player is Carlos Alcaraz.
A three-month doping suspension in February 2025 interrupted Sinner’s momentum, but he was eventually exonerated after testing positive for the banned substance clostebol.
Regardless, on the court, the reigning world No. 1 has claimed victory at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year.
In a memorable showdown during the French Open final, Alcaraz saved three match points to triumph over Sinner in what is considered one of the most extraordinary matches ever.
This year, Sinner also had to withdraw from the Cincinnati final due to an injury, while Alcaraz beat him at the Rome Masters.
Alexander Bublik deserves recognition for his unexpected win against Sinner in the Halle Open’s round of 16.
The last time Sinner experienced a defeat, before facing Alcaraz, was in August 2024.
