It\u2019s good that he and his team are taking the time. We all want him to be competitive when he comes back. His next goal, I guess for him, and I hope so, is Wimbledon.

Sinner knows well that the great history of sport is built through rivalries. As soon as one of the protagonists is missing, he leaves a void that is impossible to fill. So even if this package opens the door wide for him to win his first Roland, the world number 1 cannot be happy about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTennis needs Carlos and is better when he is there. And even for me, it&#8217;s always more pleasant when he is present, added the Italian. It&#8217;s painful and very sad for all of tennis. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was impatiently awaiting the Porte d&#8217;Auteuil tournament, hoping for a big moment, after last year&#8217;s epic final when Alcaraz saved three match points before overthrowing Sinner to win in five sets and 5h29 of play.<\/p>\n<p>All the news from Roland-Garros<\/p>\n<p>The tournament director, Am\u00e9lie Mauresmo, is well aware that the atmosphere will not be quite the same without Carlitos. \u201cWe are a little disappointed after the exceptional final last year,\u201d she admitted, while assuring that this 2026 edition \u201cwould continue to live\u201d with \u201cperhaps new names\u201d.
