forget about the \u201cfrenzy\u201d of the battle to be No 1 and instead focus on the \u201creal objective\u201d of Roland Garros.<\/p>\n<p>Both Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are playing in Monaco this week with the possibility of becoming No 1 by the end of it after the Italian won the Sunshine double and closed the gap to his long-time rival.<\/p>\n<p>Should Sinner reach the semi-final then Alcaraz would need to win the tournament to ensure he remains No 1 come the end of it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alcaraz-sinner-set-winner-takes-all-match-no-1-monte-carlo\">meaning there could be a winner-takes-all final between the No 1 and No 2 seed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, former pro Paolo Bertolucci told his countryman to not focus on the race to be No 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJannik is very confident after his victories in Indian Wells and Miami, even if he might be feeling a bit tired,\u201d he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. \u201cHis decision to play in Monaco wasn\u2019t a given, as he only had a few days to find the right moment and refine his technique.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are all elements that make the difference on clay. Monte-Carlo will also allow him to fine-tune his technique, knowing that his real objective is Roland-Garros.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world number one ranking is simply a consequence of results. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that important. What really matters is finishing the year at the top of the ATP rankings, because there are also bonuses linked to sponsorships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one can be number one all season, and I think all this frenzy around the rankings is unfounded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It has been two years since Sinner last featured in Monaco and Bertolucci believed the 24-year-old has grown in that time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJannik Sinner has clearly grown. Week after week, he brings something more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are details, subtleties, not always visible, but it\u2019s continuous improvement to his technical arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we remember his serve two years ago, when everyone doubted and thought it wouldn\u2019t lead anywhere\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven then, we said to stay calm: the motion was good, the timing was good, the ball toss too. It was just a matter of time and work. Few believed it. And now, this crazy serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sinner began his Monaco tournament with a 6-3, 6-0 demolition of Ugo Humbert.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jannik Sinner told to ignore \u2018frenzy\u2019 around World No 1 battle by former pro Sam Cooper 07 Apr 2026 1:30 PM Jannik Sinner is in Monaco with a chance to surpass Carlos Alcaraz.
