Men\u2019s tennis is likely to get a bit more \u201cchaotic\u201d following a hugely unpredictable and exciting French Open.<\/p>\n
That is according to tennis content creator and commentator Gill Gross, who feels the \u201cstability\u201d of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner\u2019s dominance in 2025 has not been repeated this year.<\/p>\n
The duo split the Grand Slams last year, and while Alcaraz triumphed in Australia, Sinner \u2013 who has won all five of this year\u2019s Masters events \u2013 fell in the second round at Roland Garros<\/a>, as question marks over his conditioning sprang up again.<\/p>\n With the Spaniard set to miss Wimbledon due to injury<\/a>, Sinner being desperate to win his first major in a year, and more consistent players such as Alex de Minaur and Taylor Fritz having on-and-off seasons, Gross thinks the coming months could throw in some surprise results.<\/p>\n Indeed, there were signs of this last year on the ATP Tour<\/a> when Ben Shelton won his first Masters title in Canada and qualifier Valentin Vacherot did the same in Shanghai.<\/p>\n New rule suggested for Grand Slams due to Carlos Alcaraz missing Wimbledon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Tennis needs to make rule change after Emma Raducanu\u2019s actions recently<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

And even after Sinner and Alcaraz<\/a>, there was De Minaur and Fritz, for example, who had a very consistent year. [Novak] Djokovic<\/a> has been really consistent in slams, but maybe that starts to fade a little bit.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are scenarios in which, after Sinner<\/a> and Alcaraz, it\u2019s still really unclear how long Carlos will be out, and it gets a lot more messy.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m trying not to use negative words because I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a negative thing, but it\u2019s going to start to be more mushy in terms of who\u2019s the fifth-best player in the world versus the 15th. I think that gap might remain pretty small, and it\u2019s going to be harder and harder to predict these kinds of things.\u201d<\/p>\n While De Minaur and Shelton are at career-highs in the rankings in fifth and sixth respectively, Fritz is down in eighth, and other established players such as Casper Ruud and Lorenzo Musetti have fallen to 12th and 14th.<\/p>\n De Minaur is ninth in the race, while Fritz, who has had an injury-blighted season, is 28th, and Djokovic is 14th.<\/p>\n And of course, the biggest shakeup of all was Alexander Zverev<\/a> finally winning his first Grand Slam by beating Flavio Cobolli in the Roland Garros final in five sets. Heading into Wimbledon<\/a>, it is all to play for.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Novak Djokovic\u2019s Wimbledon hopes dealt blow as Jannik Sinner \u2018the huge favourite\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Wimbledon set for \u2018chaos\u2019 amid Carlos Alcaraz injury woes and Jannik Sinner question marks<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Men\u2019s tennis is likely to get a bit more \u201cchaotic\u201d following a hugely unpredictable and exciting French Open.
