The eyes of tennis fans once again rest on Jannik Sinnerlike every start of the season, before the start of the Open the Australia 2026. The Italian faces this year with renewed energy and the objective of continuing to position himself above Carlos Alcaraz in terms of titles and ranking, in addition to maintaining the dominance of recent seasons by avoiding the regular appearance of new swords.

For guys like Jannik, who seek perfection almost obsessively, any slightest incentive or stimulus serves to improve aspects of the game and come back stronger. Beyond being considered by many as the big favorite to the title in Melbournethe transalpine does not arrive at this event as world number one, as he did last year: that honor belongs to Carlos Alcaraz… and taking it from him is one of his great objectives.

He was not afraid to verbalize it in a talk with the Australian network Nine, in his first public appearance on oceanic lands. “Return to number one is one of my big goals of the season, without a doubt. “It’s going to be difficult to get back there, but I’m happy to try my best.”said Jannik, who is “excited” to return to Melbourne. “Starting the season here is always great: you can breathe the enthusiasm that Australians have for this sport”pointed out the one from San Candido.

Sinner will seek to emulate Djokovic and become the second player in history to win the Australian Open three times in a row

One of the great feats that the transalpine has to offer in the coming weeks is to lift the trophy of champion in three consecutive editions. It is an honor that only belongs to Novak Djokovicthe only one to achieve this in all of history: for this, Jannik has prepared conscientiously, focusing on the hard work he has carried out during the preseason and how good he has felt in previous training sessions.

“I know that I have trained great before arriving here. The preseason has been fantastic and I feel very good physically. You always start the season with doubts, that is normal for a tennis player, but I also start it with a lot of confidence because of the results I have achieved here in the past. I really want to start competing here”pointed out a Sinner who also spoke about his rivalry with Alcaraz, trying to get rid of the idea that he is constantly in his head. “Of course you think about it (the rivalry), but at the same time, if we remain number one and number two, the only way we will face each other is in the final, and there is a long way to go to get there. The rivalry motivates me and I am happy to be part of it.”. Tomorrow we will know the path of the champion… for a Open the Australia in which you will not lack motivations.
