Jannik Sinner is the top favorite to win Wimbledon 2026, where he defends the title he won in 2025 against Carlos Alcaraz. However, the world number 1 arrives with some doubts about his physical condition following what happened at Roland Garros. He has revealed that the medical tests he underwent were positive and he is prepared for his debut.

Sinner was defeated in the second round of Roland Garros 2026 by Juan Manuel Cerúndolo due to a physical setback that severely limited him, something that has happened to him on several occasions. The Italian tennis player flew to Milan, where he underwent these tests, and as he acknowledged in an interview with 'SuperTennis,' he arrives at 100% to achieve his second title at the All England Club, a tournament he never imagined playing as a child.

"I'm feeling very good. We did all the check-ups, and everything seems to be very good. So I'm very happy. I needed some time off after Paris. I spent 10 days with my family and friends, and I really appreciate those moments. I always believe that everything happens for a reason. I've had a lot of preparation time, trained a lot physically, and I feel in good shape, very strong again. Nonetheless, the first matches are always very challenging," Jannik stated.

Sinner analyzes his physical issues at Roland Garros

The truth is that if Sinner underwent these tests, it was because something was wrong with his physical condition, and when asked about what happened at Roland Garros he still doesn't have a concrete answer. The Italian tennis player chose to play the three Masters 1000 on the clay court tour, winning all of them, so this physical strain could have been one of the reasons for his downfall at the Parisian major, where he was the top favorite.

"We talked more in-depth after Paris, trying to understand if this would have happened if I hadn't played a couple of tournaments before. We don't know. After all, every day is different, and if you make a couple of mistakes, on some days, you pay the consequences. We could have handled some things a little better, but I also remind myself that I've had an incredible season so far, winning many tournaments. I learned from what happened, and I believe it will make me even stronger in the future," he admitted.

Sinner's reflection before Wimbledon 2026

After a few weeks have passed and he has overcome this situation, Jannik has also shared a beautiful reflection on what it means for him to play (and win) Wimbledon. "As a child, I would never have imagined being in this position, not even playing here at Wimbledon. Coming from a small town, it wasn't realistic. Now, having at least one trophy and seeing my name here alongside all these incredible names is truly special. I remember what it was like the last time I came here, and seeing my family with all my team and my brother, has been amazing."

Furthermore, he is ambitious about the idea of winning more times at the All England Club, although he remains grounded. "It's something I would love to experience again, but if it doesn't happen again, I did it once and I will remember it forever. Tennis is hard to enjoy because, even in victories, after four or five days you have to be present. Everything starts over, and even if you have a great tournament and lose in the semifinals, you leave the tournament as a loser, and there is only one winner in a couple of weeks. When you have special tournaments like the ones I had here last year, it's a different feeling."

Sinner reveals the key to the tennis boom in Italy

Beyond his figure as the world number 1, Italian tennis is experiencing a golden age, with a large number of players reaching the final rounds of major tournaments. When asked about the key to this success, Sinner says, "It's amazing. A few years ago, this wouldn't have been possible, and now we have many contenders all the time. If a favorite gets eliminated like me in Paris, you have three or four other Italians in the draw. We try to push ourselves to the limit because we all want to be better than the others, but it's a very healthy competition."

For instance, Flavio Cobolli was a finalist at the recent Roland Garros, Matteo Arnaldi reached the semifinals, and Matteo Berrettini made it to the quarterfinals. All this considering the absence due to injury of Lorenzo Musetti. "I'm happy when I see other Italians achieving incredible results like Flavio. Reaching finals and being very close to winning his first Grand Slam. Arnaldi has been fighting, and he deserves it, and Musetti is dealing with some injuries, but we are sure he will return in great form, and the more we are, the better," he concluded.
