The two defeats of Jannik Sinner in this 2026, against Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open and Jakub Mensik in Doha, have raised some alarms. However, for the former American player Steve Johnson, concern might arise if he doesn’t meet expectations in Indian Wells and Miami: "There is no need to panic, but I think if he doesn’t win in Indian Wells or Miami, we will have to start asking questions. Simply because he is so good, right? He has earned it. But I think he has not lost to anyone other than Carlos Alcaraz in almost two years. So, if he starts losing more frequently to other players besides Carlos, it becomes a bit puzzling. But he set that bar himself, so he can only blame himself and the bar he set for his performance in the last three years," stated the American, in comments collected by We Love Tennis.
