With the injury of Carlos Alcaraz, all eyes are on Jannik Sinner. The Italian has a clear path to win all the clay court tournaments he hasn't conquered yet. He already claimed victory in Monte Carlo by defeating the Spaniard in the final, but with the indefinite absence at the moment of the latter, not only the door opens for him to win the Mutua Madrid Open, but also Rome and, above all, Roland Garros.

However, these high expectations that will fall on San Candido's shoulders will add an extra level of pressure. Many warn that he may never have an opportunity like this again, with Alcaraz out, Djokovic being a mystery, and the rest of the players a step, or two, behind. So, if he manages to win these titles, for many, it would be considered a failure.

Nevertheless, Sinner continues in his own way, that is, victories upon victories. He has already achieved 22 consecutive triumphs and a winning streak of 27 in Masters 1000 tournaments. Therefore, his status as a favorite is growing more and more. This was confirmed by Greg Rusedski on the Tennis 365 podcast.

Jannik Sinner and the increasing pressure of winning everything after Carlos Alcaraz's injury

"There is much more pressure and expectations because I am saying he will win Roland Garros, he will win Madrid, he will win Rome, and he should win everything he plays now. Imagine if Alcaraz doesn't show up at Wimbledon. Once again, the pressure will be enormous. You should win everything, and it's not easy to handle that expectation and pressure. Yes, he is mentally strong, but suddenly you remove his greatest rival, and everyone says he should win. Other players also seem to be starting to rise to the occasion."

"So far, Jannik has been incredible. I have been watching him this week. When challenged, Janik gives his best. What I noticed this week is his use of drop shots to draw his opponents in, the readiness to attack, and he simply always plays the right shot. Even if he doesn't always execute it."

His mentality is reminiscent of Rafa Nadal's

"He reminds me of Rafa. Rafa said this wonderful phrase in 2019 when he was playing the US Open final. He said, 'Technically, I can fail, but mentally, I can't disappear.' I think, from Rafa's perspective, that's what made him so strong. And also, from Jannik Sinner's point of view, his main strength lay in his intelligence. And that's what makes him so good."

Not seeing it negatively if Sinner could win all upcoming tournaments

"I don't think his dominance would be bad because it would be historic. If he wins all the tournaments, he will have won all nine Masters titles and the four Grand Slams if he wins in Paris. That would be incredible. There are very few players who have achieved that in the history of our sport. Imagine having the nine Masters and the four Grand Slams at such a young age," concludes Greg Rusedski, who, like everyone in the tennis world, is eagerly awaiting how Jannik Sinner responds to the pressure of having to win everything while Carlos Alcaraz remains out of action.
