SINsational! At the Italian Open in Rome, Jannik Sinner made tennis history by completing the Career Golden Masters, becoming just the second man after Novak Djokovic to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles. Even more remarkably, the world No. 1 has now won six Masters 1000 titles in a row and swept Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome in the same clay season. Tennis Weekly HQ asks is men’s tennis becoming a bit too predictable at the top? And heading into the French Open, is Sinner’s greatest challenge himself?

On the women’s side, Elina Svitolina delivered one of the most impressive title runs of the season to capture her third Rome crown and 20th career WTA title. The Ukrainian defeated Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff in consecutive matches to put herself in the big mix as a genuine Roland Garros contender. Can Svitolina finally reach her first Grand Slam final, and what has she brought to her game that could propel her all the way?

Elsewhere, we discuss Emma Raducanu’s reunion with Andrew Richardson, the coach who guided her to her 2021 US Open triumph, as they begin a full-time partnership ahead of Strasbourg and the British grass court season. We also unveil our French Open clay-court power rankings, talk about how not to enter court featuring Luciano Darderi and preview the final round of tournaments before Paris in Strasbourg, Geneva, Hamburg and Rabat.
