For Jannik Sinner, 2026 has so far been perfectly imperfect.
In Melbourne at the start of the year, an inspired Novak Djokovic derailed his bid for a hat trick of Australian Open titles in the semifinal. At the French Open, the world No. 1’s body cramped up in the second round, ending his quest to complete a career slam. In a year where he’s lost just three of 40 matches, two of Sinner’s defeats have come at the majors — the only blemishes on an otherwise perfect year that has already delivered five ATP 1000 titles and a sizeable lead at the top of the rankings.
