The eyes of tennis fans turn once again to Jannik Sinner, as it happens every beginning of the season, before the 2026 Australian Open kicks off. The Italian approaches this year with renewed energy and the goal of maintaining his superiority over Carlos Alcaraz in terms of titles and ranking, as well as keeping his dominance from recent seasons and averting the regular emergence of new contenders.

For players like Jannik, who pursue perfection almost obsessively, any slight encouragement or stimulus serves to enhance aspects of their game and return stronger. Despite being seen by many as the top favorite for the Melbourne title, the Italian does not enter this event as the world number one, a position held by Carlos Alcaraz this year. Seizing that position is one of his main objectives.

He had no hesitation in expressing this during a conversation with the Australian network Nine, in his first public appearance in the Oceanian lands. "Reclaiming the number one spot is one of my major goals for the season, without a doubt. Returning there will be challenging, but I am thrilled to give it my all," stated a motivated Jannik, who is "excited" to return to Melbourne. "Starting the season here is always great: you feel the enthusiasm that Australians have for this sport," mentioned the San Candido native.

Sinner aims to follow Djokovic's lead and become the second player in history to win the Australian Open three times in a row

One of the great achievements within grasp for the Italian in the upcoming weeks is to lift the champion's trophy for three consecutive editions. This honor is currently held only by Novak Djokovic, the sole player to accomplish this feat in history. For this, Jannik has meticulously prepared himself, emphasizing the hard work put in during the preseason and the positive feelings from previous training sessions.

"I know I have trained exceptionally well before arriving here. The preseason has been fantastic, and I feel very good physically. At the start of the season, there are always doubts, which is normal for a tennis player, but I also begin with a lot of confidence due to the results I have achieved here in the past. I am eager to start competing here," remarked Sinner, also addressing his rivalry with Alcaraz and attempting to dispel the notion that it occupies his mind constantly. "Of course, you think about it (the rivalry), but at the same time, if we remain ranked one and two, the only chance we have to face each other is in the final, and there is a long way to go before that. The rivalry motivates me, and I am pleased to be part of it," he added. Tomorrow, we will learn the path of the champion... in an Australian Open that will surely be filled with motivations.
