Jannik Sinner is etching his name into the history books with all he has achieved in recent months. After winning the Masters 1000 he was missing at ATP Rome 2026 and becoming the first player to win six consecutive Masters 1000, the world number one now faces the tough challenge of trying to win the 9 Masters 1000 in a single year.

As of today, that feat seems like an impossibility due to the physical effort it would require, although if anyone can do it, it is the Italian tennis player. In fact, if he wins in Montreal, Cincinnati, and Shanghai, he would have already achieved the nine consecutively, but he would have to win Paris again to win them all in a single natural year. There are many conditions along the way, like the return of Carlos Alcaraz for the upcoming tournaments, but as of today, Jannik seems unstoppable.

Sinner, unbeatable in any condition and on any surface

In fact, he has barely dropped three sets in the last six Masters 1000, regardless of the surface. From the indoor hard courts of Paris to the clay courts of Rome, passing through the outdoor hard courts of Indian Wells or the altitude of Madrid, Sinner has swept everything in his path. The most impressive thing is how well he has known to adapt to each situation, and the dominance with which he has overcome every challenge that has come his way.

His pending task was the clay court season, but this year he has evolved his game to make history and win in Montecarlo, Madrid, and Rome for the first time to complete his collection of Masters 1000. At Roland Garros, he will seek to complete the Career Grand Slam, defend the title at Wimbledon from last year, and from there, he will strive to continue in the same dynamic to achieve what no one has been able to do to this date.

Physical condition, a key factor for Sinner's feat

The first thing to consider is the physical condition. Sinner is already arriving quite battered at Roland Garros, although it is true that this year he plans to take a break and only play Wimbledon on the grass circuit, skipping Halle. However, if he wants to win all the Masters 1000, he will have to play in Montreal, a tournament he skipped last year to prioritize his body, as it would mean making another drastic surface change in just a few weeks with all that it entails.

Later would come Cincinnati, where he reached the final last year but had to retire after losing the first set against Alcaraz. Barely a month and a half after Wimbledon would come the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the year, and then the Asian swing would begin, where he could choose to play only the Masters 1000 in Shanghai to have a couple of weeks of rest. The season would end with the European indoor swing, where he could also prioritize arriving fresh for the Paris Masters 1000, but it is still a heavy load for his body.

Carlos Alcaraz, the only one capable of stopping Sinner?

In addition to this, there is the return of Carlos Alcaraz after his wrist injury, who will come back with the motivation to make up for lost time and try to narrow the gap with Sinner after several weeks away from the circuit. The Spanish tennis player already defeated the Italian at the US Open 2025, and if he manages to change the dynamics of the player from San Candido, he could undermine his confidence to thwart the dream of winning all the Masters 1000 in a single year.

Still, the mere fact that this possibility is being considered is already a tribute to Sinner, who is achieving the unthinkable. Not long ago, after his defeat at the Australian Open against Novak Djokovic, there was talk of a small crisis in his game. However, barely four months later, he has managed to make a 180-degree turn in the season, demonstrating why he is currently the best player in the world, with numbers unattainable for the rest of mortals.
