Jannik Sinner of Italy looks to continue his historic win streak at the 2026 French Open.<\/p>\n

After winning his sixth consecutive Masters 1000 title at the Italian Open last week, Jannik Sinner looks unstoppable as he enters the 2026 French Open.<\/p>\n

If Sinner wins, he\u2019ll nab the only major title missing from his resume and complete a career Grand Slam. \u201cIt\u2019s a very special tournament<\/a> for me, and it has been increasingly better year after year, and last year we were very close (to winning),\u201d Sinner told reporters in Paris.<\/p>\n

Sinner took a heartbreaking loss to Carlos Alcaraz in last year\u2019s final. After five hours and 29 minutes of play, the longest match in Roland Garros history, Alcaraz defeated Sinner in a stunning comeback, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2).<\/p>\n

However, Alcaraz is not competing at Roland Garros this year due to a wrist injury, and Sinner is the overwhelming favorite to win.<\/p>\n

Before the world No. 1 faces French wildcard Clement Tabur in the first round on May 25, Explora Journeys made an exciting announcement regarding Sinner.<\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner Is Launching an Exclusive On Board Cruise Experience<\/p>\n

Sinner, Explora Journeys\u2019 new global ambassador, will join the EXPLORA III for a trip from Genoa to Marseille from July 24 to 25. Explora Journeys announced that reservations are officially open for guests to join Sinner on the Prelude Journey.<\/p>\n

The Instagram post racked up thousands of likes. One fan commented, \u201cHello!!! I do like more information pleaseeeee.\u201d Another person wrote, \u201cJannik!! I wish I were rich\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

So what will guests experience with the tennis phenom on board? \u201cJannik will host an intimate Q&A session and offer bespoke coaching sessions<\/a> on the ship\u2019s padel court, together with his performance team,\u201d the website states.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuests will also be offered a first look at In Balance: A Jannik Sinner Ocean Wellness Programme, developed by Jannik and his team specifically for Explora Journeys.

Jannik Sinner Considers Himself \u2018Lucky\u2019 to Enter the French Open Tired\"Jannik<\/p>\n

GettyJannik Sinner is ready to compete at 2026 Roland-Garros.<\/p>\n

After becoming the first man to complete a season sweep of the Clay Masters 1000 events since Rafael Nadal in 2010, there\u2019s concern over Sinner\u2019s stamina. However, he enters the French Open on a historic 29-match win streak.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a very long but very positive period,\u201d Sinner said. \u201cYou know, I\u2019m lucky to be in this position. I think it\u2019s always better to be in a position where you win and you start to feel tired than you feel very good, but you lose a couple of rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old understands there\u2019s a target on his back. \u201cEveryone is trying, you know, to beat (me), but that\u2019s also the most normal thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to be ready. Best-of-five matches, they are a bit different. It gives you a little bit more time to understand how to beat a player, and even if you have a wrong start, then potentially you can find a way in. I\u2019m very sure I have very, very tough matches in front of me. I try to focus on myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
