What history can Sinner make at Roland Garros?

Jannik Sinner arrives at Roland Garros chasing a number of records. The 24-year-old Italian, who came within just one point of winning the trophy in Paris last year against Carlos Alcaraz, opens against French wild card Clement Tabur.

Ahead of Sinner’s first-round match, ATPTour.com looks at the records the World No. 1 is trying to achieve in the French capital.

Career Grand Slam
Sinner is aiming to becoming just the seventh man in the Open Era to win all four major singles titles — the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open — at least once across his career.

The Italian triumphed at the Australian Open in 2024 and 2025, Wimbledon in 2025 and at the US Open in 2024. Alcaraz became the youngest man to complete the Career Grand Slam in February, when the 22-year-old beat Novak Djokovic in Melbourne.

Last year in Paris, Sinner let slip three championship points in the final to Alcaraz. He responded emphatically at Wimbledon by lifting the trophy.

Clay Sweep
If Sinner wins the title in Paris, he would join just Rafael Nadal as the second man to win all three clay-court ATP Masters 1000 titles and Roland Garros in the same season. Sinner has won consecutive crowns in Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome, dropping just three sets across the three events.

The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings is 17-0 on clay this year, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.

Record Winning Streak
Sinner is on a career-best 29-match winning streak. The Italian has swept the past five events he has played, dating back to March when he triumphed in Indian Wells.

Titles at ATP Masters 1000 events in Miami, Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome followed, with the Italian becoming just the second man to complete the Career Golden Masters in the Italian capital.

Sinner is currently fifth on the list, with Djokovic, Roger Federer, Thomas Muster and Nadal above the 10-time Masters 1000 champion. If Sinner lifts the trophy at Roland Garros for the first time, he would move to third.

Italian legacy
Sinner will be aiming to become the first Italian man to win the clay-court major since Adriano Panatta in 1976. Panatta also won the Rome title that year, and last week Sinner became the first Italian champion in Rome since Panatta.

Former WTA Italian star Francesca Schiavone lifted the trophy in the women’s event in Paris in 2010.
