Patrick McEnroe has revealed to Tennis365 \u201cthe only thing\u201d that he thinks could \u201cderail\u201d Jannik Sinner\u2019s title bid at the 2026 French Open.<\/p>\n
World No 1 Sinner is vying to secure his maiden Roland Garros crown and fifth Grand Slam title overall at this year\u2019s edition of the clay-court major.<\/p>\n
Victory in Paris would see Sinner complete the career Grand Slam, with the Italian having already collected two titles at the Australian Open and one title at both the US Open and Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
Sinner<\/a>, who won the first five Masters 1000 events of the season, is a massive favourite to lift the Coupe des Mousquetaires in the absence of world No 2 Carlos Alcaraz.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old extended his outstanding winning streak to 30 matches with his 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 opening round win over Clement Tabur at Roland Garros<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n During a TNT Sports Zoom call, Tennis365 asked McEnroe about Sinner\u2019s dominant streak and French Open favourite status.<\/p>\n \u201cHe (Sinner) is as big of a favourite now that we\u2019ve seen,\u201d said McEnroe, who won the French Open men\u2019s doubles title in 1989.<\/p>\n John McEnroe gives honest opinion on Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s injury & Novak Djokovic\u2019s French Open hopes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Alexander Zverev claimed to be making changes to his game that is just like Jannik Sinner<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

Roger [Federer] did it a couple times; winning Indian Wells and Miami.<\/p>\n \u201cBut the fact that he\u2019s just dominating on hard and clay the way he is\u2026 you know, Casper Ruud\u2019s a darn good clay-court player, and he just takes care of him like absolutely no problem [in the Rome final]. There\u2019s another guy, Ruud, that could make a run in Paris.<\/p>\n \u201cA major is a little different, so the pressure\u2019s gonna be magnified in a major on him. All eyes are gonna be on him.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s gonna take some miraculous performance from another player, or maybe a super cold day when it\u2019s cold or windy at night. Maybe if it gets super hot, that could affect him.<\/p>\n \u201cBut that, to me, is the only thing that could derail him. He\u2019s been that good.\u201d<\/p>\n McEnroe is part of TNT Sports and HBO Max\u2019s Roland Garros coverage as a commentator and analyst.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: French Open: John McEnroe tries to come up with one player who can beat Jannik Sinner<\/a> The post \u2018The only thing that could derail Jannik Sinner\u2019 at the French Open revealed by Patrick McEnroe<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Patrick McEnroe has revealed to Tennis365 \u201cthe only thing\u201d that he thinks could \u201cderail\u201d Jannik Sinner\u2019s title bid at the 2026 French Open.
