the tennis landscape since March, winning the first four Masters titles of the year, but Steve Weissman believes the Italian\u2019s recent form should come with a large caveat.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner has won Indian Wells, the Miami Open, the Monte Carlo Masters, and the Madrid Open in a row and he has not suffered a defeat since losing to Jakub Mensik at the Qatar Open.<\/p>\n<p>The World No. 1 shows no signs of slowing down as he has raced to the semi-finals of the Italian Open, where he will play Daniil Medvedev for a chance to reach the final.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his ridiculous form, which has seen him win 25 Masters matches in a row, and his last 26 matches on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/ATP-Tour\">ATP Tour<\/a>, Weissman believes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz\u2019s<\/a> absence is partly the reason for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner\u2019s<\/a> dominance.<\/p>\n<p>Weissman, who is a regular contributor to The Tennis Channel, appeared on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qTPBIuiijG4&amp;t=1623s\" target=\"_blank\">The Inside-In Tennis Podcast<\/a> to discuss Jannik Sinner\u2019s incredible form across the clay court season.<\/p>\n<p>While Weissman has been impressed by the Italian\u2019s run, he beileves Alcaraz\u2019s absence has greatly boosted Sinner\u2019s dominant success.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz injured his wrist at the Barcelona Open and was forced out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Madrid-Open\">Madrid Open<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/italian-open\">Italian Open<\/a>, and the upcoming <a

dominance] that Carlos Alcarez has been missing in action since that final in Monte Carlo,\u201d said Weissman on the podcast. \u201cHe\u2019s the one guy that has a winning head-to-head over Sinner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weissman even suggested that Alcaraz has had a better season than Sinner so far, despite his Masters titles, as he has won the only Grand Slam of the year so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/australian-open\">Australian Open<\/a> this year,\u201d continued Weissman. \u201cI\u2019ll take that over all of the Masters 1000s if I\u2019m either of those guys. So advantage Alcaraz.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut yeah, Sinner\u2019s number one in the world and he\u2019s beating everybody else and that\u2019s all you can ask for him. So he does handle it well. He\u00a0 is so dignified, so put together, just like he is on court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz currently leads his head-to-head against Sinner, with 10 victories from their seven matches on the ATP Tour. However, Sinner has won three of their last five matches, which have come on all three different surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner defeated Alcaraz at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/monte-carlo-masters\">Monte Carlo Masters<\/a> on clay, the ATP Finals on hardcourt, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> final on grass in his last three matches.<\/p>\n<p>They came in between Alcaraz\u2019s last two victories over Sinner, which were in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/us-open\">US Open<\/a> final and the Cincinnati Open final, the latter of which came from a Sinner retirement.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jannik Sinner\u2019s incredible winning streak must come with a \u2018caveat\u2019, warns tennis insider Liam McMillen 15 May 2026 7:00 PM Jannik Sinner celebrates Jannik Sinner has dominanted the tennis landscape since March, winning the first four Masters titles of the year, but Steve Weissman believes the Italian\u2019s recent form should come with a large caveat.
