Jannik Sinner is the master of the ATP circuit. The world number one has put to rest any doubts surrounding his figure after his defeat at the Australian Open, and has responded as only the best in history know how to do. If he wins Rome and Roland Garros, the Italian tennis player would complete his Masters 1000 and Grand Slam titles, something that Greg Rusedski believes would be good for tennis.

The withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz due to a wrist injury from Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros has cleared the path for Sinner, as there is no other player capable of challenging him currently. Not even the Spanish player himself could do it in Monte Carlo, on a surface that seemed more favorable to his interests. Forget about Alexander Zverev or any other player from the top of the rankings, as it has been proven that they are not even able to take a set off him. Therefore, if the trend continues in the coming weeks, the player from San Candido could make history at only 24 years old.

In his podcast 'Off Court,' Rusedski was clear. "I don't think it's bad if he wins Rome and Roland Garros because it's a historic feat. If he wins all the major tournaments, he will have conquered the nine Masters 1000 and the Career Grand Slam at just 24 years old. With Carlos's absence, it will give him more motivation to fight for the titles, but he has to find a balance and deal with the pressure." It will be to surpass tennis with an entire career ahead, waiting to achieve a gold medal at the 2028 Olympic Games.

Rusedski doesn't think Sinner will have a rival in Rome and Roland Garros

However, the former British number one stated that the rest of the circuit must step up to break this dominance, although he sees it as challenging in the short term. "Someone has to step up in Rome since the conditions will return to normal for clay courts. There will no longer be as much altitude as in Madrid, making it easier to control the ball. We will see what happens, but it will take a herculean effort for someone to stop Sinner," he continued.

Despite leaving a question in the air, both Greg and the tennis world, in general, know that Sinner's biggest rival at the moment is himself. If he can maintain the pace of the calendar and his physical condition remains good, it would be a huge surprise if he doesn't at least win Rome. "Can someone catch up with him? From what I've seen, it doesn't appear possible for now, but that's why we play, because you never know what might happen," he concluded.
