Jannik Sinner looked cool and clinical as he stormed through his opening match at Roland Garros, with French wild card Clement Tabur no match for the world No 1 as he stormed to a 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 win.<\/p>\n
With defending champion Carlos Alcaraz absent due to injury, Sinner looks to be invincible in the men\u2019s draw, with the aura he now brings on court adding to his brilliance.<\/p>\n
Now, former British No 1 Greg Rusedski has given his verdict on what it takes to beat Sinner and he believes the hot conditions in Paris may offer the rest of the men\u2019s draw their best hope.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey need to hope it stays hot and that it\u2019s bouncy, lively, and fast,\u201d declared Rusedski on his podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIf the conditions cool down, that will give Sinner more time. He\u2019s the best from the back of the court. His serving numbers, return numbers we\u2019ve talked about, are immaculate.<\/p>\n Alexander Zverev claimed to be making changes to his game that is just like Jannik Sinner<\/a><\/p>\n Alexander Zverev explains why he still believes Carlos Alcaraz is a \u2018step behind\u2019 Jannik Sinner<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSo you need to be able to get cheap, short, sharp points. And if you\u2019re looking at like Ben Shelton, a guy who\u2019s attacking big serve, am I saying he\u2019s the guy\u2019s gonna beat him? No. But you\u2019ve got to make him feel uncomfortable because once he gets his rhythm.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s nobody from the back of the court that can beat him. So if we take the serve and return out, which are two of his best aspects, I\u2019m still backing him from every backcourt rally.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the only guy maybe we\u2019re thinking is Novak, but Novak\u2019s thirty-nine years of age. You know, it was great the way he played and found a way through Joe in the opening round. But you know, you can\u2019t compare somebody who\u2019s in their early twenties to somebody who\u2019s thirty-nine.<\/p>\n \u201cYou gotta favour Sinner<\/a>. And right now with Medvedev dropping, who can beat him? I\u2019m not seeing anybody.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the last man we talk about is probably Sascha Zverev. You know, but he hasn\u2019t done well against him in the last few times they\u2019ve played.<\/p>\n \u201cSo it\u2019s looking most likely that Sinner is gonna walk this thing, but it\u2019s one thing to say it, it\u2019s another thing to do. And he\u2019s got to win seven matches. This is the only Slam he hasn\u2019t won yet.<\/p>\n \u201cIf he wins this tournament, he\u2019s like Carlos, one of the very few players in the history of our sport to win all four majors.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not a formality, but at the moment it\u2019s looking like, you know, we could give him the trophy on on Sunday, but he\u2019s gotta still get it done, which is easier said than done.\u201d<\/p>\n Rusedski has insisted the Sinner procession at the top of the men\u2019s game is now repetitive, but sport without jeopardy lacks tension and that is how it feels in men\u2019s tennis right now.<\/p>\n READ MORE: French Open: John McEnroe tries to come up with one player who can beat Jannik Sinner<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Jannik Sinner \u2018unbeatable\u2019 in one key area as chasing pack told they need divine intervention<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jannik Sinner looked cool and clinical as he stormed through his opening match at Roland Garros, with French wild card Clement Tabur no match for the world No 1 as he stormed to a 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 win.
