Jannik Sinner surprised many with his full-throttle approach to the clay court swing, but he\u2019s set to dramatically slow down when the ATP Tour switches to grass.<\/p>\n
The World No. 1 has played every clay court Masters event in 2026, despite playing the maximum amount of games at the Monte Carlo Masters and the Madrid Open, and reaching the semi-final of the Italian Open.<\/p>\n
Many expected Sinner to skip the Madrid Open, but his record-breaking Masters run saw him continue and he hasn\u2019t looked back on the surface.<\/p>\n

If something unexpected were to happen and he were to lose early, maybe that would change.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner\u2019s upcoming schedule<\/p>\n Roland Garros (May 25th-June 7th) \u201cWhen you\u2019ve played as much tennis as he has and you have so much confidence, you are in great shape for the matches, so the most important thing for him is to make sure he arrives in Paris with his physical and emotional energy at 100%.

Last year, he was knocked out of the Halle Open at the hands of Alexander Bublik<\/a> in the second round.<\/p>\n
